University of chicago prompts?!

<p>So for the upcoming year I'm planning on applying to U. of Chicago, but..the prompts threw me off a little? What are you guys thinking of?</p>

<p>well I was thinking they were pretty amazing. I’m thinking about doing the joke essay option or the one about the shrimp. Which do you think you’ll do?</p>

<p>I think it is better to ask that sort of question on the essays board…</p>

<p>I’m definitely talking about the shrimp or… the one wity the professor’s direct quote–I think that they’r trying to move away from students who are only academically-minded and trending towards students who face a question using the academics --and phylosophy? We should definitely keep in today ch for the applcation process:)</p>

<p>I really liked the prompts, actually! I’m thinking of doing either the history one or the apples and oranges one. I think the essays will be a lot of fun to write since the prompts are just so weird.</p>

<p>Mcgillian2014: I liked that one too. Haha I’m not sure exactly what I would write about it though. We should definitely keep in touch though, I’ll need you to read my essay when it’s done :)</p>

<p>Can anyone explain to me the last essay prompt?What might be the possible questions?Just some examples.</p>

<p>I think that’s up to you. Pose a question with no definite/obvious answer. I love the UChicago prompts. They’re so cool. Are you applying EA?</p>
