<p>Early Decision deadline is a week from now and now I am finishing up my application...</p>

<p>I have heard about the famous Rice "Box" before,</p>

<p>but I could not find anything about it on the Rice supplement page on common app except: </p>

<p>"If you are completing the Signature portion online, please upload a two-dimensional, scannable image of something that appeals to you".</p>

<p>Is this Rice "Box"? But I don't see anything that talks about box...</p>

<p>So basically we just put a picture that appeals to me on a document and upload it?</p>

<p>I checked the paper application on Rice webpage and it had a specific box image.</p>

<p>Do I need to draw a box on my document so that my image will be in the same size as I would put in the box on paper form? HELP!</p>

<p>You’re exactly right! Just put your picture in a word document and upload it, no need to draw a box of a certain size or anything.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>I have a question as well. Could I use an image I found online or stuff I have in my house (a video game, for example)?</p>

<p>My impression was that we could just use any image we wanted. I’m not sure why they put 2-D but probably no videos or something like that. Just one image.</p>

<p>Just put something that appeals to you. Don’t put grains of rice. You might think it’s clever but admissions officers hate it</p>
