Will bad ACT affect applicant if SAT is good?

Well, an assistant will see your SAT scores, yes. If the admissions officer has an assload of time to spend on your app then yes she will see it, but I doubt that is going to happen.

It is possible that the ad com will see your SAT score, but not at all probable.

Remember that once you request which test SAT or ACT to count, that is the only score that is going to go into “the formula”, so I really wouldn’t lose sleep over it, but on the other hand I understand why you are concerned and it is far easier for me to say this since it is not my app that is being affected by it.
