Gap year

<p>Hey guys i have completed 11 years of british curriculum school. After my IGCSEsi decided to take a gap year to get some work experience and do extra curricular activities. After one gap year, this academic year i did my toefel and SAT I.
I have descent grades in my high school.
and i am expecting the same for my SAT and toefel. First of all i wanted to know if its worthwhile doing the GED exams and also if i have a chance in getting accepted in universities such as IOWA, USF, FSU aor CAL states.
i am only worried that my gap year would be a negative thing for them or the fact that i did not complete my AS levels</p>
