<p>Would they like it if I applied using their app instead; does it show more interest in the school?
Also, their supplement to the commonapp requires you to write the essay thats on their regular application, so does that mean they dont look at the commonapp essay? Cause that would be the only reason I would apply with the commonapp: I 'd like them to see me write about a different topic cause I dont really like their essay.</p>
<p>It doesn't matter. Although you have to/get to write two essays if you do the CommonApp. Supposedly they will treat both apps the same.</p>
<p>you write less essays with the rice app ^_^</p>
