<p>Do you have to handwrite this? Is it unheard off to paste a typed essay on that section?</p>
<p>As I recall, you can submit the common app supplement online which would be typed so I don't think they'd have a problem with a typed response to the question. Also, Rice isn't looking for handwriting skills and it would probably be easier to read if it were typed so I say go for it.</p>
<p>Yeah the commonapp supplement is only by hand. I think I'll go for it anyway.</p>
