<p>How many essays do you have to submit to U of Chicago? Do you just choose one of the prompts from their Supplementary App. or do you have to pick one from the Common Application’s as well?</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>You submit:</p>
<p>1) The Common Application.
2) The Chicago Supplement, which includes
a) the uncommon essay prompts:
[University</a> of Chicago College Admissions | Essay Questions](<a href=“http://collegeadmissions.uchicago.edu/admissions/essays.shtml]University”>http://collegeadmissions.uchicago.edu/admissions/essays.shtml)
b) an essay on why you want to go to the University of Chicago
c) an “optional” essay on your favorite media (books, music, movies, magazines, TV shows, etc.)</p>
<p>I use the quotation marks because I think it’s unwise not to write that fourth essay.</p>
<p>I see, thanks.</p>
<p>Are we required to write the Common App essay as well?</p>
<p>Yes. You’re handing in the completed common app along with the Chicago supplement.</p>
<p>“Optional” essays are never truly optional if you really want to attend that school. Don’t leave anything on the table. Take every chance you have to present yourself!</p>
