<p>How necessary is a "Why" essay for your reach schools and is this a good time to send?</p>
<p>don't send unless they ask</p>
<p>bump.... comin down to the stretch, if i dont do them now then i never will. whats the verdict?</p>
<p>If it was an "optional" part of the app, definitely send one. If they didn't ask, don't annoy them with something extra.</p>
<p>no across the board.... this was something my guidance counselour recommended too</p>
