Gap year?

Applying to College
1

Should I take a gap year during which I will apply to colleges? I am an international student, I decided on the US, sadly, the previous November and I went in blind and missed a lot of college and scholarship deadlines. I would be losing a year, but I feel like I will miss out on the college experience if I transfer, which I definitely will if I attend college now.

I am open to suggestions and hearing your experiences and thank you!

Take the gap year.

It will be much, much, much harder for you to apply as an international transfer.

Take a gap year, do smth that you like during that year and apply to colleges.

It’s also possible at some schools to get admitted and then ask for a deferral of admission.
