"Lying" on Resume - Need Quick Advice

This summer interned at a company where I directly contributed to three separate pitches and got to know the companies from a business standpoint by reading filings, online reports, and general critical thinking. I also did DCFs for these but this involved inputting numbers into a somewhat finished model and the company did valuation in a "strange" way seeing that it did not include sensitivity analyses, did not project out a line items to arrive at FCF (instead used historical numbers to arrive at a variation of FCF), did not use WACC, and did not use others forms of valuation (Public comps, Precedent transactions, etc.) to develop a football field chart and, thus, a range of values to derive implied value per share price. Nevertheless, I have placed these pitches (specifically saying that I did two things: develop a thesis and DCF) under my resume for two selective clubs that I am in to show commitment (not much is done in these clubs unfortunately despite the selectivity). I cannot place these under the company because I'm technically not allowed to disclose any info from them. What are the types of questions that are asked when people see stock pitches on your resume? In terms of the DCF, what could they ask? Conceptually, I understand what would go into a hypothetical DCF modeling wise but I feel like I haven't actually made one for these. Need to submit a resume today for a bank today and this is central to my resume given that I lack extensive experience. Any advice is welcome.
