SAT and ACT scores

Hello,

I took the SAT in June and the ACT in September.

Here are my scores:
SAT CR: 600
SAT English: 750
SAT Math: 720
SAT Essay: 9
SAT Composite: 2070

ACT English: 34
ACT Math: 35
ACT Reading: 28
ACT Science: 29
ACT Essay: 10
ACT Composite: 31

Are the two scores close enough that I should send both of them or should I send just one of them? I'm just looking at QuestBridge finalist standing right now; I will be taking SAT Subjects in October and ACT again in October for the actual College Match; I'm confident I can get 33+ for the ACT; I really lost focus in the loud test center with windows open and I just couldn't focus for reading, so I ran out of time..

I realize these scores are very low for the standards around here, especially since I'm looking at Stanford/MIT/Princeton/Yale (nonbinding QB matches), but I'm going to try anyways.

Please let me know what you think,
Thanks in advance for any help~

I think that an SAT Subject Matter 750 indicates you can raise your SAT CR 600. You look to have a very bright future whereever you end up. Congratulations!

Thank you guys. But can anyone give me any advice on which to send between the two for now? Is there a significant difference enough that I should send one over the other? Or should I just send both?

Send both. However, your SAT CR+M scores indicate you should gotten 32 in ACT.

See
Compare ACT and SAT Scores | ACT

SAT CR+M (Score Range) <--> ACT Composite Score
1400 - 1430 <--> 32
1360 - 1390 <--> 31

Yes, however, on the 2400 scale, a 31 is around a 2070-2100.

Submit both--both scores show different strengths and weakness; the only thing they can do is compliment each other. Try to improve your ACT math and science, they are easily the easiest subsections to increase.
