Yes, you can take a gap year and try your luck again. It’ll work exactly the same way as your first round of applications.

The question to ask yourself is, why are you expecting a different outcome this time? Maybe you have significantly improved your SAT/ACT scores. Maybe you recently got an impressive award. Maybe you decided to change your application strategy (e.g. to include less selective universities that guarantee sufficient merit scholarships for your SAT/ACT scores).

If nothing has changed, and you intend to apply to a similar set of universities, you should be expecting a similar outcome.
