<p>Do I put one? by the way, it's not for the common app, but it is a college application</p>
<p>It’s completely up to you.</p>
<p>I have been using titles on all my essays. Adds that little extra bit of thought and completeness, and if you have a good title, a bit of depth too.</p>
<p>That said, it is most definitely up to the person submitting the app.</p>
<p>If you can think of something clever and memorable, go for it. It’s optional though. I would choose not to if you would have to have a generic title.</p>
<p>Okay, thanks. I made up a non-generic title</p>
