How important is the essay to the University of Chicago? From what I’ve learned researching the University of Chicago it seems that they put more emphasis on the essays than most other colleges (with the uncommon app and all) so I went out on a limb and wrote a really quirky essay on a topic I don’t want to admit. At first my college counselor told me it was “stupid” and that I couldn’t write it, but I did anyway and she told me she loved it. I was wondering if the University of Chicago would enjoy a quirky and satirically dramatic essay, but that is still genuine and inquisitive. Thanks!
Yup — that’s ideal!
