Should I call to add title for commapp essay?

Applying to College
1

<p>I did not include the title in my common app essay. Should I call colleges and ask them to add the title?</p>

<p>The problem was that working in Pages I could not upload the document, and when I changed it to a word editor I did not select the title…
What should I do? Do they expect essays to have a title?</p>

<p>No, no one I’ve spoken to has a title. Don’t worry about it.</p>

3

<p>Nooooooooo.</p>

4

<p>Anyone else?</p>

5

<p>no-they are too busy in admission right now to make such a trivial update to your application. It implies that you lack a sense of perspective as to what is important and what isn’t.</p>

<p>But it was a mistake…:frowning:
Do people’s common app essays have titles?</p>

<p>I understand that it was a mistake and that you’re worried. M’s Mom is right; calling now shows a lack of perspective. </p>

<p>My daughter wrote many, many essays for the eight colleges and five or so scholarship applications she completed, and none had a title.</p>

<p>According to her common application, she took the ACT in early 2001 (yes, she would have been 9 years old) and again in June 2010. There is a funny thread somewhere on CC about various mistakes people have made on applications, and have lived to tell the tale. Some were even actually admitted to college!</p>

<p>Don’t call. It’s not a big deal</p>

<p>You don’t need a title. Many (most?) people don’t have one. Honestly. It’s not a mistake.</p>

<p>I had a title for my commonapp essay that went with the theme without revealing too much, but I still would not call colleges concerning this.</p>
