<p>Ok this school has the wierdest essays I have ever seen, they ask if you were a function, what would you be? Quadrants, derivatives, v-line test, etc and get this, do you stay on the x,y, or z axis?? Does anybdoy have any clue on what to write b/c I am totally lost, they have others but they are just as stupid, my idea was using a quadratic fn since I have a bumpy life, pretty stupid I know.</p>
<p>Chicago is known for its quirky essays. They have new ones every year. This is an important admissions tool for them and a very effective one at that. These are really personal essays and you should really think about them by yourself.</p>
<p>(Tip: don't choose the math question if you're not mathematically inclined)</p>
<p>Well math is my subject but it seems like this essay has nothing to do with math!</p>
<p>You're probably supposed to relate the math to personality quirks in real life...</p>
<p>I think its a great question.......if you have a bumpy life use f(x)=sinx not a quadratic.</p>
<p>Puns and allegory.</p>
<p>If you think that Chicago's essays are "stupid", maybe you shouldn't apply...</p>
<p>also sine is not really bumpy.. try a weierstrass maybe? and talk about how you're special not differentiable.. ha.. haha..</p>
