Idk if this is correct, but my understanding was that you should probably write one for every school that doesn't explicitly say not to. The yield protect reasoning might make more sense

Several of the schools I am applying to do not ask for or even mention a Why X essay...this may be a stupid question but how are people submitting these? Just as an addendum?
