I’d wait to see how you do on the waitlist. And, I’d send in a deposit to one of the schools you’ve gotten accepted to. You got into some great schools. Why waste a year if it’s just to raise your scores?

During the gap year, colleges often want to see that you did something which stretched you a bit. Community service, experiences abroad, a PG year, a research activity, an internship, etc…
