So here are my scores:
660 CR 780 M 720 W (10 essay) 2160
710 CR 800 M 670 W (8 essay) 2180
ACT: 33 C 34 E 31 M 32 R 36 S
Should I only send the 2180 since the CR+M is 1510? I only got like 3 wrong on writing for the 2180 test and still got a 670
…
Couldn’t find the edit button for some reason
I’m applying to ivies btw. I’m afraid that they might see the 660 reading… does anybody know if adcoms see the individual test scores before superscore?

Submit SAT superscored or ACT only?
Hmmm, that’s a tough one. Your SAT superscored is better than any of your single sittings. Apart from the 31 on the math section of the ACT, you have really good scores on that. (Yes, I realize all your scores are great, but you are talking about applying to Ivies, so…)
Are you planning on retaking the ACT? If you do, and get higher than 31 on math, I would be inclined to submit that.
Some schools want to see all SAT tests taken and will use your highest score for the application, some will accept superscores. You need to look at each colleges’ policy. I think college board has that info on their site. Some Ivies will accept superscored ACTs. Honestly, I do think the CR score on both SATs is a tad low for Ivy schools. I would retake the ACT and try to improve the CR section. The 36 is very impressive.
If you aren’t retaking, I am guessing that your SAT superscore and ACt are roughly equivalent.
I did get a 760 on the Math II subject test so I thought it would account for that. I was going to take the June ACT but they canceled the administration in Korea at the last minute (-_-). I feel like at this point writing essays and working on the application would be more productive than studying the entire summer for the ACT. If you have a second opinion, please share 
Being an international gives you no advantage, esepcially as an Asian. You will not get any financial aid. So in that case, and you may not want to hear this, I strongly suggest you retake either the ACT or the new SAT. Your scores for any Top 25 colleges, as they are now, will not be super competitive. Math 2 test score averages for the Ivies will probably be higher than 760, I imagine. 760 is a great score, but it is about the 66th percentile, so it is not going to make up for subpar scores and it is not going to make them disregard your CR scores. Not trying to burst your bubble, but I am not sure you understand just how competitive it is to get into those colleges.
Every test has a different curve, so getting only three wrong on a particular section of the test might have a different outcome for a scaled score at a different sitting. I will be honest here, but I do not think your chances are good for top 25 schools as an international applicant. I am not an expert, but the competition is ferocious. For internationals, the magnifying glass will really be out. These colleges cap their international students too. You will be competing against all kinds of incredible students who not only have amazing grades and rigorous courses, but they also play sports, do art, volunteer, research, write books, you name it, AND they will certainly have higher SA or ACT scores. And still, MANY of the most amazing kids will not get in. If you are determined to study in the US, you need to apply to less selective colleges.
I’m an American citizen and California resident. I’m just overseas so I will qualify for financial aid… just fyi. I attend a Department of Defense school.
Got it. Try to include some basic useful info in a post like this:-) Saves time. More details are needed, but, you might want to post over in the chances forum if you want to go into that kind of detail.
Most of my advice still stands. You might be able to write a cool essay about what you learned about life/yourself/people from your time living overseas.
Bottom line is, you need match and safety schools. Your scores are good, but they are not great compared to the 30,000 on average that will apply to each Ivy and Top 25 school. Not that my kid is you, but she had a 2240. She was denied from Tufts and Brown. Our HS had an Intel sci semi-finalist denied from those two schools also, with higher GPA and test scores.
If you will not be retaking tests, I think I would submit a superscored SAT AND the ACT. Your math scores are great in the SAT and your Sci and Reading scores are great in the ACT. And I could be totally wrong, but I think Penn requires all scores from any test you have taken. So maybe that will work in your favor.
