<p>I'm curious to see what everyone else picked as their uchicago essay topic. (Don't post what you wrote about, but just the prompt you chose). I wrote the history one, and was wondering which ones are the most and least common.</p>
<p>I’ve been wondering this, too 
I wrote my own, but I actually used the joke prompt to help write my common app main essay</p>
<p>i picked the history one.</p>
<p>wrote my own, but I was thinking about doing the joke one! what did you guys all put down for prospective majors?</p>
<p>history, english lit, philosophy</p>
<p>haha awesome, I put down political science, philosophy, and English, so I bet I’ll see you in a bunch of the same classes if we’re both accepted!</p>
<p>awesome! hopefully see you there :)</p>
<p>I put Theater and Performance, Comparative Human Development, and Cinema and Media</p>
<p>I did Apples and Oranges. </p>
<p>For majors, I put Political Science, History, and Public Policy Studies. The last one was a wild card, but I needed something to put down.</p>
<p>I did the “you and your” prompt. I actually wrote a serious instead of quirky, humorous essay…hope that pays off.</p>
<p>For my majors, I listed Economics, Public Policy, and Romance Languages and Literature (I needed a third).</p>
<p>the make your own prompt</p>
<p>majors: econ and comp sci</p>
<p>My essay was serious. The direction I took the prompt, I think, was creative, but it was definitely serious.</p>
<p>Mine was fairly serious too</p>
<p>mine was serious too.</p>
<p>Oh, good! I’ve always gotten the impression most people write quirky/comical essays, so I was a bit nervous about writing a serious one. Glad to see I’m not alone. :)</p>
<p>I made my own.</p>
<p>Majors:
applied mathematics, biochemistry, and comp sci</p>
<p>Where else are you guys applying? I like Vassar and Brown, too, but it’s hard to find anywhere as awesome as Chicago (no offense to the other schools )</p>
<p>just Northwestern and a couple of local colleges</p>
<p>The “what is history” prompt!</p>
<p>Majors: econ, french</p>
<p>Brown is my top choice!! (I think…I’m loving UChicago more and more)</p>
