<p>Hello, everyone. My name is Junaid, and I am international student who is interested in apply to the states for the fall 2012 intake. I didn't apply to any university or college during the senior-year of my high school (due to a couple of reasons). I am contemplating taking a gap-year because, as I said, I didn't apply anywhere during the last year of my high school.</p>
<p>Have my chances of getting into a good college (with considerable financial aid) already diminished? Would I be looked upon as a student who effectively repeated the last year of his high school (I haven't take the SAT yet)?</p>
<p>What do you guys have to say about the dilemma I find myself in? :|</p>
