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

I would send the ACT.

However, the SAT is also a very fine score (probably around a 34 or a shade higher on the ACT). For schools that require SAT II subject tests, there is no real downside to sending your SAT I as well. College Board charges a single fee regardless of how many tests you report.

I agree that the written section is not weighed very heavily. It is assessed according to a fairly rigid rubric by evaluators that are working very quickly. Colleges and universities know this.

Congrats on your excellent scores!
