Does Boston College have an essay in their supplement? When I opened the supplement on common app, there is no essay to be found. But for some reason I'm assuming there is one just because most schools of that ranking have essays...so does anyone know whats going on?? Also, on the common app, I am unable to open up the instructions for completing the supplement. anyone else encountering this problem?
Students should submit the Boston College Supplemental Application along with the Common Application at www.commonapp.org. Please note that you must have a Common Application account in order to access the Boston College Supplemental Application.
If you encounter problems while trying to submit your Common or Supplemental application, please contact the Common Application at application_help@commonapp.net.
I believe the common app essay is what BC uses. I read on the BC site that there is no extra essay for freshman apps so the simple supplement for BC is all there is extra to the common app.
