UofChicago "How did you get caught?" essay

<p>The prompt is:</p>

<p>How did you get caught? (Or not caught, as the case may be.)</p>

<p>Do you think it would be acceptable if I was to write a mostly fictional essay? Or do you think that idea is idiotic? I am not very fond of any of these prompts. Thanks</p>

<p>I’d recommend against it because it is very hard to lie convincingly. </p>

<p>However, if you are a good liar, then it could work.</p>

<p>Though I say “lie”, I’m not judging.</p>
