Gap Years

<p>I have graduated from my high school in May 2012. I have already taken a gap year. I am an international student and wish to pursue undergraduate education in the USA. I have not yet decided which college or university is the best for me nor have I decided which major is there for me.
First, I planned to apply for Fall 2013 term, but, now many of the universities have their deadlines passed. Some of the colleges which I had in my mind also have their deadlines passed.</p>

<p>The problem is I have already taken a gap year and I'm not sure that taking another would help me. I do not know if universities accept students who take two gap years. I know I could still apply but many of the universities of my first choices have their deadlines passed. Also, I aim for obtaining some financial aid from the college/university I attend.
Please give your suggestions or advice and help me out!</p>
