<p>If i decide to use the common app., will i still have to write an essay on the Rice topic (the one with how ur perspective will contribute to Rice's atmosphere)?</p>
<p>Yes, because that is the essay prompt on the supplement you need to fill out along with the Common Application.</p>
<p>So if you do the common app you're actually writing one more essay than if you do the Rice app? Since the Rice app questions are all in the common app supplement anyway?</p>
<p>yes .</p>
<p>I wonder why rice does that. Do they even look at the common app essay?</p>
<p>Okay, I'm officially starting my Rice essay.</p>
<p>Questions-
1. How do they want their 2-3 pages spaced? Single, double, 1.5?
2. Can I write about a myriad of subjects instead of expanding like heck just one of them? I want to write about my experience moving a heckuvalot different places and about cancer.</p>
