Should I submit my SAT if I did not do good in the essay portion?

This is a good question, because the common app asks whether your SAT included an essay and if you say Yes, you are asked to report that score. Even though no or few schools ask for an essay, it seems like admission committees seeing that score would not be good.

As an aside, if you choose to report the EBRW or M score from a sitting that Included the essay, you are obligated to answer yes to the question.
