<p>One of the writing questions on the supplement is "What motivated you to apply to Rice University?". My question is how would I go about answering this? I know I'm supposed to make all the writing samples as personal as possible but the only way I can think of answering this is by saying the resources Rice offers and its strengths in research and etc. Do you think this is an adequate answer?</p>

<p>You could also talk about how you will take advantage of the resources, and how you see yourself contributing to the school. :)</p>
