Do I need to send in my sat essay?

I took the sat essay the first time I took the sats, but then I found the schools I’m applying to dont need it so I didn’t take it the second and third time. When I send my scores to colleges, do I have to send the essay or can I omit it?

if they dont need it, they wont look at it even if you send it. Especially if your score is good, even if they look at it, it will only boost your chances.
