I am a sophomore who is going to apply as a transfer student for my junior year of college. The schools that I am applying includes NYU, UNC, UVA, and Vanderbilt. My ACT score is a 26 (27 if I super score) Since it is optional to submit the test score, do you think I should send it? I have already attended two institutions; my gpa for my first institution is 3.58 and my current gpa is a 4.0.

A 26 is not competitive for those schools. Don’t submit
Option 1: Send in either the ACT or the SAT score(s), whichever is higher.
For most students, this is the recommended route to take.
There are special cases that may require your consideration and a closer look – for example, you are applying to a college that require all of your SAT or ACT scores to be sent in. You scored the highest on your SAT, but it took you 8 tries to get that high score.In contrast, you got a score on the ACT that was nearly as your best SAT score, and you were able to do it on the second attempt. With the amount of attempts taken into consideration, it may be worth your while to send in the ACT scores instead. http://pinoychannelupdates.blogspot.com/
Option 2: Send in both the ACT and the SAT scores.
If your scores on one test are clearly worse than the other, then you don’t want to make them think that your higher score was just a fluke. In this case, you may send the wrong message to the admissions officer by submitting both scores.If both your SAT and ACT scores are nearly the same, then I still recommend that you only send in scores from one test. However, there are a few very highly schools that have stated they like to see both. In this case, check with the admissions office. And only submit both if you have very high scores on both.
do NOT send. They will be of no help whatsoever.
