@clipper1301:

Does question 2 change every year by changing the six or so options initially presented to applicants or does the whole purpose of question 2 change? That is, will next year’s Q2 be the same out-of-the-box essay with six different initial options and keeping the option to write your own prompt?

UChicago’s Uncommon Essay is kind of famous so they are not likely to change that out. They may add some new prompts. You always have the option to use an old prompt or make one of your own so each year simply adds more choices. Also, don’t rule out a third essay as they used to include that as an option but dropped it in recent years. Someday it could make a come back - you never know.
