<p>Here's the prompt that I'm fighting: The quality of Rice's academic life and the Residential College System are heavily influenced by the unique life experiences and cultural traditions each student brings. What perspective do you feel that you will contribute to life at Rice?</p>
<p>I started writing about how I will be unique as an engineering applicant with a background in music and art, but it seemed to be more about how I'm unique and less about a perspective that I'll bring.</p>
<p>Another problem (possibly worse) is that I write about engineering in my why particular school of study essay, and it seems a little repetitive to be writing more about engineering.</p>
<p>Any suggestions?</p>
<p>Thanks for any help... it would be an early Christmas present :)</p>
