Should I Submit SAT or ACT Score?

Hey! I’m going to be applying to a few very selective universities (Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Columbia, WashU in St. Louis, Johns Hopkins, Tufts, Fordham) and I was wondering (along with my SAT Subject Tests) whether I should submit my SAT or ACT scores.

My ACT looks like this:
Composite: 35
M36/E35/R35/S35/W10

My SAT looks like this:
Composite: 1550
M770/CR780/W19

So obviously my ACT was slightly better, but will it hurt to just submit that test along with my Subject Tests? Should I submit both SAT and ACT, or will my lower SAT score make my application look “worse”? I know I’m splitting hairs here, my scores are good, I just would like to save some money if I can by not having to send my SAT to every school if I can just send the other ones.

Please let me know what you think, thanks!
