I scored high on the SAT but low on the ACT. Can I only send the SAT score?
Nope
Penn is very clear on that topic.

@skieurope I’m seeing something different on their page. It says they “encourage” students to submit both tests, but do not require them to. Thanks for the link though.
Wow… this is new! Just a couple of weeks ago it said you were required to send both. Also they did not used to accept score choice - now it appears they do (??) although they encourage you to submit entire testing history…
Score Choice: Although we permit Score Choice, we do encourage students to submit their entire testing history on both ACT and SAT exams.
SAT vs. ACT: No preference is given to the SAT or the ACT. If an applicant submits both tests, we will pay attention to the higher score from either test.
Superscoring: Superscoring: For the old SAT, we will use the highest individual Critical Reading, Math, and Writing scores across test sittings. For the new SAT, we will use the highest individual Evidence-Based Reading and Math scores across test sittings. Old SAT scores (e.g., 2400 scale) will only be superscored with other old SAT results. Redesigned SAT scores will only be superscored with redesigned SAT test results. For the ACT, we consider the highest individual English, Math, Reading, and Science scores across test sittings. In other words, we superscore the ACT and we superscore within old and new SATs but not between old and new SAT tests.
That’s new, which is great, but it definitely used to say required.
They did change their policy
