Should I send my SAT scores?

I already sent my ACT with 34C, 36M, 35E, 33S, 32R, and 10 essay (all from one date) and 800 on math 2 and 780 on chemistry subject tests.

Should I send my two SATs which superscore to 2260 with 800M, 790W, and 670CR? My critical reading is pretty low and my ACT reading has a higher percentile so I wasn’t planning on submitting it because otherwise it’s basically the same as my ACT. But I’m nervous to just send ACT because almost everybody sends their SAT (does this matter at all?)…

I’m assuming whether I send them or not, it wouldn’t make a big difference on my application, but I’m just curious what others would suggest.

Every school we visited, including MIT, said that they are fine with either ACT or SAT so I would stick with ACT. Your SAT scores are very good but the CR of 670 is a bit low compared to your other scores. As you said, I don’t think it would make a difference either way but since your asked our opinion, I am giving mine.

Mine got in with ACTs. I know plenty of others who did too. More people are taking ACTs than SATs these days.
