<p>absolutely not – if anything gap students have a better chance of admission because college admission officers view the extra year as an added year of maturity. however being an international student you will have a lower admission rate at most U.S. colleges, even more so if you are applying for financial aid. U.S. colleges give very little aid to international students.</p>
