Will UChicago place more weight on the supplement essay than the Common App essay?

I poured my heart and soul into my UChicago essay...rewrote it like ten times and I've been working on it for almost three months now.

On the other hand, my Common App personal statement essay for UChicago is complete crap. I'm modifying my National Merit essay for it (I'm actually only sending this to UChicago, for the other Common App schools, I'll probably use my UChicago supplement essay as the main personal statement).

Will UChicago admissions officers hopefully place more weight on their own essays since up till last year, they didn't even require a second personal statement from the Common app?

I think someone on CC said that they will probably put more weight on their essays. (I hope so!)
