Hatoyama had beautiful advice, which I’m going to steal:



Anything you write will be, in essence, a reflection of you. So if you write fiction for your essay, that says something about you — the question is, will their perception of you be what you want it to? Figure out how you want the adcom to see you, and then figure out how to best achieve that through your essays.
