<p>What is #4, the required essay? Is it something separate from the Common App essay?</p>

<p>to the best of my knowledge, the required essay is the same essay you write for the common app, they just delineate more specifically the essay, seperating it from the common app, because the common app has multiple parts to it, and BC wants to make sure that the required essay, being a highly important aspect, is emphasized</p>
