Confusing situation with SAT/ACT, Need Help

Hello everyone, i applied ED to duke and sent my sat scores (1380/204) to them. I just recieved my ACT scores and did not do as well as I would have liked but got a 30. My 1380 is equivalent to a 31 but on the duke website it says there mid 50 percent for sat begings at 1370 while the mid 50 percent for ACT begins at a 29. Should i send the ACT then?? Does the ACT look better then the SAT or will they assume my 1380 is equivalent to a 31??? Any help would be great, i think my standardized test scores are the main thing holding me back for duke. (i have a 4.0 UW GPA with excellent leadershp/ec's) thanx

Good question...this is tricky.

I'd send the ACT score. I don't know why, but their middle 50 seems to favor the ACT students.
