I have yet to work on my extended essay for UChicago, so I was wondering if choosing an old prompt would be a bad move. I liked the “Find x” prompt, and had great ideas to write on that one, but it seems that the prompt is really old. Would it be viewed negatively by the admission officers since they might have already read plenty of similar essays?
Nah. Do it.
You’ll write better if you like the prompt and they really don’t care, they just want to see what you write.
Thanks, guys. I’ll make sure to work on that prompt.
