Should I wait and reapply?

Well, I’m new here and was hoping for some good advice.Well, I’m a senior in high school and earlier in the school year I decided I would take a year off and work before going to college and didn’t bother applying anywhere figuring I would take care of that in the fall. However a month ago I changed my mind for some reason and decided that I might like to try to start college in the fall instead of taking time off so I applied to Penn State main campus. I realized my chances were slim with it being so late and just as I guessed I looked on my penn state profile and it said due to limitations with the incoming class I didn’t get my first choice but was offered acceptance into the Harrisburg campus. My stats by the way are roughly a 3.8 weighted gpa, an 1870 sat, and my class rank is somewhere around top 10-15 percent. I’ve made my mind up and really want to go to the main campus so I was wondering if I could go with my original plan of taking a year off and reapply to the main campus in September so I could get a better priority for my application. I guess what I’m really asking is do you think my stats are good enough to get in if I apply much earlier next time.
