Do Essays have to be Intellectual?

$

So I wrote my essay based on a prompt and I have a response that's mostly a joke with a story that I think checks off the creative+memorable boxes, but I don't go into any philosophical or intellectual points. Should I be worried? I really like my response, but I'm thinking I might have to change it to show them more why I want to go to U Chicago and why I would fit (by fitting in intellectual stuff). Edit: I also want to add that my "story" is about how I had already thought of the phrase I made up, does it sound bad/less able to think outside of the box if I had already thought of it before I had seen the prompt?
