Should I send in an essay?

I just submitted my Clemson application! Wondering if I should send in my common app essay? I heard Clemson does not have essay readers, so is there any point to sending an essay?

They don’t really recommend essays but they consider them. I didn’t send one in when I applied a few months ago.

No essay needed. They admit based on GPA, test scores , rank and rigor. ECs aren’t even considered heavily .
