UT-PACT application include essay for UTD application

UTD application does not require an essay but they say essay prompt C is optional. I am almost guaranteed to get in to
UTD due to my rank in school. If I am also applying for UT-PACT would it be considered unfavorable, if I do not send in the essay.

You should write all the essays. Also, even though the deadline is long gone, please contact me with further questions (interviews, etc.).
