<p>If we choose Essay Option 5 and come up with our own prompt, do we need to tell Chicago the prompt as well? I know what I want to write about, but I don't know how easily I could turn it into an Uncommon prompt-esque question.</p>
<p>yeah, you do</p>
<p>To me, a good uncommon prompt is anything that's not "Describe something important to you."</p>
<p>Take a line or two from your essay and ask yourself a question from that?</p>
