| You are an international applying only to colleges that give aid to internationals. The competition is insane at such colleges for Americans, and is far beyond insanity for internationals.
No matter how stellar your app was (and I've seen your other posts, and your app was stellar), odds are low that you'd get any acceptances. Next year will be even harder to get acceptances due to the fact that the largest cohort ever of American h.s. seniors will be applying. No matter what you do on your gap year, odds of acceptance will be very low.
You have had the good fortune to get into London School of Economics. Instead of doing a gap year that is likely to result in another round of disappointments, I suggest that you go to LSE. |
