Good Score, Bad Essay

So I got back the March SAT and I received a 1550, up from a 1400 on the December SAT so that felt pretty awesome. Unfortunately, on my essay I received 7/3/7, a 3 for analysis (which seemed very odd and a little unfair, but whatever). In December, I had gotten a 6/3/6 on my essay, so I’m kind of stuck… I have no desire to take the SAT again just for the essay, as I would probably end up doing worse on the main section. Will this 3 be a big hindrance to my college application? I was planning on taking the ACT, which I get high 30s on usually, in April if I didn’t do well on this SAT, so should I go ahead with that instead?
