<p>Okay so of course Uchicago has this as one of its essay prompts. My question is this:
If I were to just use the prompt for an essay I completed for, say Princeton, would I be looked upon as swine by admissions people? The essay isn't bad and reveals character and personality and all that but the prompt is...well, princetons</p>
<p>To elaborate, I’m wondering if UChicago is trying to judge the creativity of its applicants by examining their choice of prompt (which would screw me) or if it’s just a nice topic-of-your-choice type thing</p>
<p>They would probably pick that up and they would not like it.</p>
