Based on the SAT concordance tables, your SAT score of 1390 is equal to 1970 on the old three-part SAT. That score is too low for Yale and Yale’s peer schools (Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, Amherst etc), so you should expect a rejection based on that score.

So, yes, you need to retake the SAT (forgot about retaking the SAT Subject tests as those are optional). You’ll need to score much higher (1520+) on the SAT to be a competitive international applicant for selective US colleges: https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/pdf/higher-ed-brief-sat-concordance.pdf
