Confused, scared, and...underrepresented?

Well I hate to bore you with the details, so I'll try to be brief.
I'm a Black Male (my parents are from Ghana, Africa) from Nevada hoping to apply to Yale (my dream school since elementary school.)


SAT I (breakdown): 2150: CR-660 M-780 W 710
Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0):not sure probably a 3.9
Weighted GPA: not sure, but it's definitely over 4.76/4.8
Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): not sure top 3 of 680

Should I retake the SATs? I think I could get a 2200 with some prep over the summer.

I'm heavily involved in student council in my school and my state. I am the president of the state association of student councils. I've won statewide awards in leadership. I've done Student council all throughout high school and I have held leadership positions each year. I am in the medical magnet program at my school. I want to be a physician, but i also want to take my medical knowledge back home to ghana to improve health care and public health. Well I have other ECs that relate to medicine and politics and i feel that my application will show that im passionate about medicine and politics/public health.
Im not entirely sure what else I need so advice would be truly appreciated.
