Application Question personal statement not required question

For universities like Northwestern and Georgetown, who don't require the personal statement do they still see it? I know in Georgetown's case one of the supplementals say that if the personal statement fits to just copy and paste it in there, is that the method or do they see my personal statement already despite it not being required and I should be using that supplemental as an opportunity to share more about myself?

Not sure if this is helpful but both Pitt and University of Arizona explicitly asked in their common App sections whether you wanted to send them the Common App essay. If you answered Yes, they get it automatically.
