<p>To draw a rainbow with two men or two women underneath it. Would that be TOO much</p>
<p>I was also thinking about drawing LOTS of people underneath the rainbow and show how they support each other or something. </p>
<p>I like idea 1 but I think it might be risky.
What do YOU think?</p>
<p>If you’re worried about adcoms potentially thinking negatively about homosexuality or something of that sort, don’t worry about it! Rice is a very accepting place. I don’t remember exactly, but I think my box was a peace sign over a rainbow background. My essay was all about dealing with being a gay in a small, conservative town where the community was vehemently opposed to my high school Gay-Straight Alliance. </p>
<p>Sounds like a fine idea to me. Really, the box is just a way the admissions people let you express yourself in a way not limited to just words on a page. Your idea fits well.</p>
<p>wait do you know if we can glue 2D stuff on it? because apparently the Rice policy now is you can only make a 2D box, not a 3D one</p>
<p>i dont think so, it says it has to be scannable BUT you didnt answer my question.</p>
<p>Pyles - I doubt there are bad ideas for the box. Overused and cliche ideas, however, do exist. The box is just a little piece of you. If you like your idea, use it.</p>
<p>Don’t glue uncooked rice in the box; it’s been done sooooo many times and it gets all over the admissions office.</p>
<p>Just because it says “2D scannable” doesn’t mean you shouldn’t put something 3D in the box. You can still scan 3D things with a 2D scanner.</p>
<p>^^^ okay but that’s not answer to my question</p>
<p>What’s the idea BEHIND your box? I don’t get it.</p>
<p>two men standing under a rainbow equal gay pride… duh. I’m wondering will they take offense to that.</p>
<p>No, they will not take offense to it.</p>
<p>Eravial answered that question in the first post.</p>
