I heard this confirmed by Dean Jacobs also. And he particularly mentioned two important things: you can apply even if you think the deadline has passed, and you don’t have to torture yourself on the essay; my son used one of his common app essays, and it was good enough even though it didn’t precisely fit the prompt.

BTW, if you have a chance to meet with Dean Jacobs and hear his pitch, definitely go. He does an impressive job explaining the school, and helping you see what it would be like to be a Barrett student.
