<p>Rice asks for a picture that appeals to you on your app. Has anyone heard from one of their admissions counselors what they do with the picture?</p>
<p>Have you searched the Rice University forum for information about the box? Questions similar to yours are asked every year.</p>
<p>Yes, but I would like to hear what an admissions officer has to say about it.</p>
<p>Probably the wrong place to look. As far as I know, no admissions officers post here.</p>
<p>Anyways, from a former student’s perspective - put whatever you want. I talked to several people when at Rice about what they put and they ranged from birds to machines to sports to food to travel to art etc. They all got in.</p>
<p>Put something that appeals to you. Something related to one of your hobbies perhaps?</p>
<p>I put a picture of my cat. I think it can only help you as long as you don’t make yourself look like a sociopath :)</p>
