Should I wait another year and retake SAT all over again???

Wait to see if you get into any of the schools you applied. Personally, waiting a year simply to retake the SAT is not something I would do. You would forget a lot of material which is crucial for certain majors. Not to be rude, but if you get denied from any schools, your SAT alone is not the reason. The fact that you’ve taken no APs will also hurt. I don’t know how your high school works but in my high school if you don’t take the AP exam you do not get the AP credit. That being said, you applied to so many schools so I’m sure you will get into another few besides Utah or Buffalo. If Utah and Buffalo are still your only options after hearing back from all your schools. it is not the end of the world. I don’t know much about Utah but I know Buffalo is a pretty good school and the SUNY system is wonderful. Don’t waste a year just to take an exam again and forget all the material you learned in high school. Lastly, so many kids I know who take a “gap year” become less motivated to attend college and they end up not going. It’s scary and dangerous! Good luck!
