a really risky topic

<p>one of the U Chicago prompts is as follows:</p>

<p>Essay Option 1.How did you get caught? (Or not caught, as the case may be.)
Inspired by Kelly Kennedy, a fourth-year in the College.</p>

<p>how would an essay on cheating work? too risky?</p>

<p>here was the my thoughts on how i would write this.</p>

<p>basically i cheated rarely and when i did i felt bad about it. But i did it any way because i didn't want to disappoint my parents. So even though it felt bad and wasn't as satisfying as getting good grade legitly i sinned. then eighth grade i was taking a math test. it was the last test of the term and i desperately needed an A-. when i got the test back it was just 3 points short of what i needed. thus i added a single line and told the teacher he had graded my test wrong and that i had all the negative sign there all the time. my teacher caught me. i never believed they would actually give me a zero but they actually did. instead i got a c+ for the term. I realized that cheating was just not worth it. and it wasn't just a simple harmless act and that is was serious. so from that point on i became really anti cheating. </p>

<p>this is really crude but just judge if it is college suicide</p>

<p>lie and make it… 6th grade, then you’d be fine. Although writing about cheating for this prompt might be really generic (a lot of people might)</p>

<p>Too generic.</p>

<p>what would u guys do with a prompt like that then?</p>

<p>idk, a lot of people from my school go/get in to UChicago (about 10 get in), and they all write about crazy things for Chicago. Chicago is really weird about their essays; they want you to get “creative,” so whatever that means to you.</p>
