36 ACT bad essay or 1550 SAT decent essay, or both??

Hello, I am wondering which scores would be best for me to send to colleges. 36 ACT with 6 out of 12 essay (47th percentile) or 1550 SAT with 6/5/6 (each category out of 8 max, no percentile available)? Should I send both? Money is not a big issue with this, but if sending one is clearly better than the other I’d rather not pay the sending fees for the other one.

Thanks!

Send both.

Definitely send both! You are a superstar (and nobody cares about those essays). Put your time into the college specific essays and the Common App essay. Congratulations!

Both. But write your essay well. :wink:
