Hello, I've just finished writing my college essay and I'm not sure if I should add a title to it. Do you guys think it's necessary or should I just leave it without one? I've heard mixed opinions and would appreciate some guidance. Thanks in advance!
Hi there! It's great to hear that you've finished writing your college essay—congratulations! As for your question, it really comes down to personal preference. Some students choose to add a title to their essay, while others leave it without one.
A well-crafted title can help grab the reader's attention and set the tone for your essay. However, if you feel that your essay speaks for itself or that adding a title might make the introduction feel clunky, you can leave it without one. Either way, it's important to ensure that the content of your essay is strong and engaging, as that's what the admissions officers will focus on, not the title.
Consider what you think would best complement your essay, and go with your gut feeling. Good luck with your college applications!
