<p>I think it is best not to apply now. What I think is great about your situation is that you have lots of extra time to do a lot of cool stuff – exploring your interests, participating in a cutting-edge research, teaching english in some third-world country(that is if it is doable for you), building up on your ecs, and more. Besides, as we all know, international applicants have a much harder time getting into top schools in the US, so why not just take your time and build up on your resume while you still can and turn yourself into an even more competitive applicant, one that college admissions can’t turn away?</p>
<p>Seriously, you have something that most of us don’t have – TIME.</p>
