<p>Is it true that if I use the Rice application, it is one essay, but with Common Application and supplement it is two? </p>
<p>Also, does Interim decision conflict with restrictive early action at any schools? Thanks.</p>
<p>interim does not conflict with an EA policy unless the EA policy says you may not apply to any other early program…it says this on their FAQs on their site.</p>
<p>Yes. Rice App- one essay. Common App + supp- two. I checked with Admissions today. They did however say, that they are considered equally.</p>
<p>Actually, even at schools that say not to apply EA to other schools while ED at theirs will, in most cases, let you do interim. Well, i know this is true of a school in NJ that shall remain nameless. Check with others to make sure by emailing them.</p>
<p>yeah and for the rice app, there are additional short answers…so they’re essentially equivalent in number of essays.</p>
