Rice Application "The Box"

<p>I've read about something called "The Box" on the Rice app where you fill in whatever you want. My question is: Where is it? Is it the "Additional Information" section on the common app? Have they done away with it?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>what things are you suppose to put in it?
a picture?</p>

<p>You put whatever you want in it, something that represents you.</p>

<p>is it like a part of the application process? like seein what the applicant likes and his/her thinking? or is it just like a picture just for like preventing dual applying or sth?</p>

<p>Put whatever represents you in it, whatever and however you want to convey yourself to the admissions officer to make a positive, lasting impression.</p>

<p>You do not need an actual, literal "picture" or photo of yourself.</p>

<p>Be creative and unique!</p>

<p>Do not glue rice to the box. They get that all the time.
And don't draw yourself outside the box and write "I think outside the box". They're tired of that one, too...</p>
