Help me with my score reporting dilemma

So I somehow couldn’t find the correct password for my collegeboard account when I wanted to register for the SAT’s last September (I know that for a kid looking at Penn that sounds idiotic, but I use the same password for everything so I’m still confounded on how this happened). Long story short, I was near the late deadline and didn’t want to wait for collegeboard to give me a new password so I created a new account. My score for October was a 2210 (740 CR, 670 M, 800 W). However, the first time I took the SAT I got an 800 on the CR portion. My dilemma is whether or not to call collegeboard and try to have them move my first score to my second account, resulting in a superscore 60 points higher, or leave it be. I realize that if I don’t try to transfer the score I am sort of committing academic dishonesty. Would Penn prefer a superscore 60 point higher or a 2210 on the “first try”?
Also, if my gpa isn’t very strong for a Penn CAS candidate, should I take the SAT again? I think I underperformed on my 2nd test. I appreciate any help and advice…
