Please help with the October ACT- I need to know if this will help/hurt my chances!

I literally JUST got my ACT scores, and I'm a bit happy and disappointed at the same time. For background information, last time I took the ACT I got a 30- 34 E 28 M 27 R 30 S and an 11 essay. I'm excited because this ACT I improved greatly in my 2 weakest sections (math and reading) but completely bombed my strong sections (english and science)
So this October ACT I got a 29- a 29 E 32 M 30 R 25 S (to be fair I did get home at 1 am the night before because I just got home from Boston)

I know those English and Science scores are mediocre, but these new results bring my superscore from a 30 all the way up to a 32- 34 E 32 M 30 R 30 S (didn't get my essay yet)!

The question is that I just applied to Cornell CALS, U Chicago, U of Miami, Florida, Michigan, and Virginia and I plan on applying to various other schools for Regular Decision.

I have the list of schools that are known to superscore the ACT, but should I send both test scores to the schools that don't superscore the ACT just in case it might affect my decision anyways? Or would it hurt my chances because of my bombed sections and the fact that they would only consider one score?

Thanks for your help!
