<p>does rice have essays if so, what are they i cannot find them anywhere on the website</p>
<p>Last year, the Rice application (not common app) had one essay. I believe the topic was "What can you contribute to Rice?" I won't guarantee that this year is the same, though.</p>
<p>it is, I just got part II in the mail today.</p>
<p>wow, just one essay. that is really weird</p>
<p>i thought that was odd as well...most schools ask for at least 2!</p>
<p>im not going to complain about one essay</p>
<p>who said I was complaining! :P</p>
<p>one essay plus THE BOX hahahah that's why box acts like your second essay sorta</p>
<p>i loved the box. it was the most fun part of the application.</p>
<p>by the way, if you apply interim decision and get your app in early, do they let you know if you got accepted or deferred earlier?</p>
<p>The Rice app is my procrastination app, since the essay is the hardest of the essays I have to write. =\ I really hate it.</p>
<p>However. <3 the box.</p>
