<p>So I'm doing a VERY unconventional topic for prompt #2 (There are two types of people in the world, what are they?), and it is not very personal, though it definitely showcases my writing style and tone/voice. Seeing as how most personal statements are supposed to be personal, does it work if U Chicago's one is less personal? Are they even looking for a conventional personal statement? or is it more of a creative writing prompt? My Common App essay is definitely a personal statement and is completely about myself.</p>
<p>While it is always difficult to offer essay advice since everyone’s ideas are so different, I would say you are perfectly fine. One thing that UChicago is not is conventional. Showcase your voice and creativity and you’ll be alright.</p>
