Admitted students and The Box

Colleges & Universities Rice University

<p>I thought it would be fun to see what people put in their boxes that may or may not have helped them get in. I know there have been threads about The Box in the past, but this way it’s all in one place.</p>

<p>To begin, I put a picture of a cheesecake that I decorated myself, though I never informed them that I had decorated it.</p>

2

<p>My box has pictures from Paris; a cafe, the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, a Picasso painting, a sculpture called the Ugoline, and a gargoyle. One behind the other, different sizes. On the front I put my stubs from my boarding passes. I taped them so that the pictures stood up and then I pasted over the square and behind the pictures a verse from the song, I love Paris in the Springtime…</p>

3

<p>mine was a kerry political cartoon … it said bush, not bush… thats all we have</p>

<p>edit: oh yes I sincerely hope i dont jinx my decision</p>

4

<p>Sorry, I kind of got ahead of myself. I haven’t received my decision yet. I hope I didn’t jinx it.</p>

5

<p>I have a picture I took with my digicam of my Rice box that I might post if I’m accepted…it was quite artistic, complete with a picture of a rubber duckie, a VHS tape, duct tape, and a clever slogan, haha…</p>

<p><em>crosses fingers</em></p>

<p>But like MeltedCrayons, I don’t want to risk jinxing myself at the moment…</p>

<p>i’m an ED applicant…I was scrambling to finish my application on October 31st, so i started getting really stressed out that night and i constantly kept glancing at the clock to see how much time i had left before i had to turn in the application…i said to myself “you know, i really wish i had more hours in a day”…so i drew a clock that had 18 numbers in it, instead of the traditional 12</p>

7

<p>lol now that’s funny</p>

8

<p>i kind of regret this now, but i put a recipe for “study break biscuits”</p>

11

<p>Oooh! That’s nice. Have you eaten in the revolving restaurant? Total rip-off, but kinda neat.</p>

12

<p>from a really interesting national geographic article, i cut out models of the sun that show how the difference of rotational velocity between the core and the outer layers shears its magnetic fields to cause solar flares. I did it the the day of the deadline, and it was nothing that i thought too hard about. and not very artistic…haha</p>
