For the UCs: Which SAT score should I send?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - GENERAL

I have two SAT scores I’m considering sending to the UCs-- A 1410 composite with a 730 English and 680 math section, with a 17 essay score (6-5-6), and a 1420 composite with a 700 English and 720 math section with a 15 essay score (5-4-6). I’m not sure which one to send because I’m unsure of how much value the UC’s place on the essay section in their admission process.

I also have a 720 lit SAT II score I’ll be sending in…

Any advice?

For the SAT I, the UC’s want all scores so I would send both. They will take the highest total score from a single sitting which would be the 1420. The essay section is the least important of all the scores.
