Test scores for MBB

Hi, I'm at undergrad at a target school (3.8GPA) planning on applying to MBB, and heard the application asks for test scores. I wanted to know which scores I should put on my resume exactly to represent myself best. My scores are:

  1. SAT single-score is 2270 (800M, 760CR, 710W). However, superscored, I am at 2360 (800M, 760CR, 800W).
  2. ACT single-score is 35 (36M, 36S, 34E, 32R).

I'm having trouble deciding how to do this, and have two questions:

  1. Can I superscore my SAT on my application/resume? If I can super-score, I think putting down my SAT superscore is best.
  2. If I cannot superscore, what is the preferable option between the SAT and ACT? I feel like the 35 ACT is stronger, but if it must be broken down then the 32R doesn't look good. OTOH, the SAT is more balanced

I realize they may not take a second to look at this, but just wanted to ensure I'm doing my best. Thanks

I think they generally ask just as an idea of how intelligent you are. Getting a good GPA in part is taking the right professors / classes. I don’t see why you couldn’t put your super score because they won’t be getting the actual results anyways.

If you’re against it just put your ACT and don’t give the breakdown.

You’ll be good
