If I don't get into my upper-level choices, is it worth it to reapply after a year?

Applying to College

<p>Given your list of schools here:

<p>It looks like you have no safeties at all. Trinity considers “level of applicant’s interest”. Syracuse lists “level of applicant’s interest” as “very important”, while no other criterion is anything more than “considered”. Since it seems like you are not actually interested in them very much, they may figure that out and reject you.</p>

<p>If you get rejected by all, then it is likely your best choice is to go to community college for two years and then transfer to your state flagship to complete your bachelor’s degree. If you take a gap year and reapply without safeties again, what will you do if you get rejected by all the second time?</p>
