| Riskiest box thing ever
i decided to be a smartass, and ill probably get rejected for it
i took a 1 dollar bill, and took a sharpy, and wrote in big letters
"there's more where this came from"
they'll either think it's really funny, or they will (probably) think that im a jackass, and they will reject me |

| wow; wow; wow;
Imo, this is one of the worst ideas that I have heard on CC, far worse than thinking about retaking a 2400 for 12 essay. | |

| I laughed.
Contrary to popular belief, the adcoms at Rice do not have enormous rods up their butts. Most of them are pretty laid-back people, and some are former Rice students. | |

| Yeah, I wouldn't worry about it too much. The people in the admissions office are chill. If you end up not getting in, this is probably not the reason why. | |

| My son, a Rice student, says that the box is really so that the Adcoms will have something to remember you by. I don't think they'll forget that. It's very funny and unique and creative. Does this mean you don't need to fill out the Fafsa Forms?? Don't worry so much, you obviously think "outside the box"! | |

| When I applied, I just stuck the ace of spades from a deck of cards in the box.
Yours sounds so much cooler. | |
