Is it worth is to reapply?

After this recent round of college admission, I ended up with lots of waitlists/rejections from my top choices, and I was wondering if it could be beneficial to take a gap year and reapply.

I was waitlisted at Stanford, Yale, Columbia, Brown, Cornell, and Duke and I am right now planning on attending USC in the fall, which was one of my least favorite choices. BUT, because I feel like I was so close to being admitted to some of these places (because of the waitlists), will I have any better chance if I reapply? It would likely be a less competitive year, and although I don’t have many additions to my application, I have a few new awards and activities. I am happy to answer any questions and would love to hear your thoughts.
