Should I retake the SAT for ivy and ivy equivalent apps

So ACT scores came out today and I got a 36 (35 math and sci, 36 eng and reading, writing pending) but I have a 1510 SAT, meaning the ACT looks better obv but if I had say a 1560-70 SAT would it really make enough of a difference to where I should retake it? Also does the essay portion negatively affect admission chances if I dont score in the 11-12 range? Help pls
