"Superscoring" the New SAT essay?

Do colleges who superscore take the highest essay score of an SAT taken? For example, if one scores a 1600 but gets a 6/6/6 on the essay, but retakes the SAT and gets 1500 with 8/8/8 on the essay, will the college consider solely the 1600 and the 8/8/8?

Thanks!

To clarify, I am asking whether the college will consider the highest essay score, just like they consider the highest SAT superscore (the colleges that superscore, at least).

Bump, anyone know?

Last Bump… Then I’ll quit :confused:
