<p>is anyone willing to read my common app essay?</p>

<p>i've been hearing different views on this. some have said that chicago doesn't like to get recycled essays. some have said that chicago doesn't care as long as you write a kickass essay. i hope it's the latter b/c i'm really not interested in writing another essay. </p>

<p>(i'd prefer non08ers)</p>

<p>I guess you can say that if your essay is such a kickass essay, it won't even matter if it's recycled.</p>

<p>I wrote a random essay that wasn't really for anything and submitted it under prompt 5 (I wrote myself a UChicago-esque question to fit the essay I'd written) on the uncommon app. I got in. I'm now submitting that essay as my common app essay under a common app prompt.</p>

<p>Basically, if you think your essay is Chicago-worthy (kickass will do) then send it. You may, though, need to write a question to go with it.</p>
