The Box

Colleges and Universities A-Z Rice University

<p>I'm considering what I should put in that little box. It's very small, which really limits my choices.
Additionally, my dad thinks that applicants must fill the box with their own artworks. I highly doubt this, but I want to ascertain. Furthermore, would it be advantageous for some one who is a fair, but not exceptional, artist (who never alludes to drawing/painting talent otherwise) to fill the box with personal artwork?
I will really appreciate any ideas/advice... thanks guys! :)</p>

<p>It doesn't have to be artwork.</p>

<p>I've heard that the adcoms use this box to help distinguish applications, although I doubt it's make or break for you application.</p>

<p>I know I'm sounding cliche here, but just put something that's "you".</p>

<p>I know people who put tiny collages, a Rubic's cube, drawings, etc. I put a cover of an old passport on mine.</p>

<p>Cool, another Lovetteer!</p>

How would I do it if applying online? I'm completely confused.</p>
