^^Pfff, flawed and unsound arguement.
How is this: I only got into the one school I did not write an optional essay for (which, by the way, is true). Now what? And, just to strengthen my case, several people from CC claimed to not have written optional essays and still got in.
Optional is just that -- optional. Do not think "Oh it cannot hurt doing mediocre on the option." Think of it as "A medicre optional essay is an eyesore and can only give the admissions officers a chance to second-doubt your eligibility."
Moral? If it is not great, do not waste the readers' time.
