<p>I'm planning to apply to Rice under its Interim plan, and I'm just wondering if I could substitute the Rice teacher/cousellor recs with the more widely used Common app recs while still using the main Rice application? I find that both types contain almost the exact same content and questions. By using the common app recs, it could save my teachers a lot of work. Is this practice allowed at Rice? (I know that several other schools like JHU do accept common app recs submitted along with their own school apps, though I just found that other schools like georgetown don't allow this)
Thanks a bunch for your input!</p>
<p>It would seem you need to ask an admissions officer. Would you go by whatever you learn here? I doubt it. Pick up the phone. Give 'em a call.</p>
<p>My DD submitted Common App recommendation forms to Rice, and is now a junior there. DS will be submitting common app forms also.</p>
