Is SuperScore really as good as it sounds?

When I took the SAT, I did great the first time (with a 1600 score in their ranges), yet the second time (during APs—high stress) I didn’t do NEARLY as well; my 1600 score was drastically lower by 200 points.

I submitted my app last night and also sent both SAT scores, but the one question on my mind is: Do both have an effect of admission? Or do they REALLY only consider the highest scores from each section? (In that case, it would be my entire first sitting). If they just consider the highest scores, everything is fine, but if they looked at my second sitting, I don’t think my chances are high at all.

I applied to HumEc, if anyone is wondering
