I got a 1550 on the SAT in one sitting and a 35 composite score on the ACT but in two sittings. Should I submit both?

Colleges don't prefer one test over the other, so there's no need to submit both. If you refer ACT's ACT to SAT score conversion chart, 35 translates to anywhere between 1530 to 1560. So, your scores in each test are basically equivalent. You can submit both but keep in mind that it won't necessarily increase your chances as compared to submitting just one.
