<p>What does the "how did you get caught essay" want? Is it, "how did you get caught cheating or whatnot? or "how did you get caught on to UChicago?"</p>
<p>I have no idea and I'm applying EA</p>
<p>There’s nothing specific that you’re supposed to be caught doing (it’s not the last option you gave as that should be covered in the Why Chicago? essay).</p>
<p>If I did that prompt I’d probably write about something that I was embarrassed about, or something that I remorse doing, or something where you were just really sneaky about it and didn’t get caught. </p>
<p>Or I guess you could try to make this one interesting by making a satire out of something silly that you did in the past, or making up some future event (perhaps at UChicago?) where you either get caught/don’t get caught and making a satire out of it. Or you could make an essay from a third person point of view looking in on you getting caught, or not getting caught. Or you could choose to do one of the other questions.</p>
<p>Or you could not use my bad suggestions, and come up with something by yourself :D</p>
