Perfect ACT but poor essay vs. Highish SAT and mediocre essay

I guess I’d send the ACT rather than both. Sending test scores can get expensive and you’ll still have subject test scores to send as well.

It’s debatable how much or how little the ACT/SAT writing sections matter but the consensus seems to be somewhere around “not much”. Some colleges flat out say they don’t use them (look on the Common Data Sets to be sure). Ask your english teacher if he/she would be willing to write a recommendation that specifically addresses your writing skills if you still feel concerned.
