<p>I like the Chicago essays.</p>
<p>But if I choose to make up my own prompt or use another topic, would it be alright if I chose a topic from previous years? Or just used my common app one?</p>
<p>I believe it's still unconventional, but the prompt certainly wouldn't be.</p>
<p>I'd love to go to Chicago, and it wouldn't be too hard to write a new essay, but I'm proud of the other one I've already done and wouldn't mind saving time.</p>
<p>Any responses are much appreciated.</p>
