<p>Do the common application and the supemental essays need a title or not? Thank you.</p>
<p>Generally the rule is no titles for college essays. Definitely no title on the common app main essay. The formatting restrictions make it impossible to properly format a title. Some of the supps allow for uploading a pdf and in those it is possible to include a title, if you wish.</p>
<p>What rule? </p>
<p>A title could be a good tag for an essay.</p>
<p>Thank you, niceday. I also want to know if a student can write detailed info about one of his activities in the additional information area under the writing.</p>
