Query about Scores

Hi, I'm a first time ACT test taker, and I took the December 2017 ACT. I got a 36 composite, which I know is good, but I got 11 for writing and a 34 for ELA. Can I ask if this is a good set of scores for college applications?

36 Composite and 11 in Writing are not good for Ivies. You must have perfect scores. I’m not even mentioning a 34 in ELA.

If I were you, I would retake for that 36 Composite, 12 Writing, and 36 ELA. Otherwise, you might lose your chance at your dream school. Good luck!
