Should I Submit SAT or ACT Score?

At an information session earlier this year, Wash U stated that they only want the best test - whether that be SAT or ACT. Stanford, on the other hand (which is not on your list), requires all ACT and SAT I scores, so clearly Stanford likes to see the comprehensive testing history. You will need to research the specific testing requirements for each school on your list.

If you are going to send SAT subject test scores, I think you can go ahead and send all SAT scores (including SAT I test scores) for the same $12 fee. For score choice schools, you can pick and choose which scores to send. In no way will your SAT score make your application look “worse” - both of your section scores are above 750 and are extremely strong and balanced.

For schools that don’t specify the full testing history, I think it would be fine to send just ACT score, and I think it would be fine to send both SAT and ACT. All of your scores are exceptional.
