<p>After doing some research on U of Chicago, i couldnt help but notice that the essay promts are well, a bit unusual! lol Do they change from year to year or do they remain the same? like say for istance the mustard question, has that been around for a while or is that new for this years applicants only?</p>
<p>welcome to the world of Chicago!
The questions change each year, but always remain unusual.</p>
<p>Sometimes questions do not change. For example, the one about the Mind's I</p>
<p>That one changed. Different 4 essays every year. The first 2-3 are usually inspired by students, the last 1-2 by the admissions office, and the last one always asks you to create your own prompt.</p>
<p>the previous ones seem to be so much better</p>
<p>How many of those questions require responses? Or is it up to the student to determine how many essays the want to submit?</p>
<p>the application states explicity (in fact, i believe they italicize) that you are to choose one essay to which to reply.</p>
<p>good! they're all so odd. I mean, I wouldn't even know where to begin if I had to write a response to the mustard question! lol</p>
