Hey, I'm starting to work on my UChicago application, and I've heard they have some pretty unique prompts for their essays. I wanna see what previous years' prompts looked like for inspiration. Does anyone know where I can find them? Thanks in advance!
Hey there! You're right, UChicago is known for its creative and quirky essay prompts. In fact, they often release several prompts you can choose from each application season. To find a list of the past prompts, I'd recommend visiting the University of Chicago's official admissions website; they typically have an archive of essay prompts from previous years for you to review.
Another resource you can check out is CollegeVine. They have an essay prompt database that can help you find not only UChicago's previous prompts, but prompts from other schools as well.
