<p>disregarding the common app.</p>
<p>on the actual rice application it seems as if there is only one essay topic (what can you contribute to Rice?) and the box question.. is this all or am i missing seeing something?</p>
<p>is there "supplement" essays to the actual Rice app?</p>
<p>I don't remember writing multiple essays for Rice, although I think there is an extra essay for Architecture applicants.</p>
<p>That is it if you are doing the Rice application I believe. There is also the shorter questions though. "Why do you want to study what you checked above" and "Describe your most intellectual experience" or whatever it is.</p>
<p>thanks for the replies</p>
<p>Exactly. This prompt is designed for you to do what you want to do. It's easy to be creative while still satisfying the question.</p>
<p>Just a side note--this essay has a higher word limit than most other schools did.</p>
