Some advice/perspective for international students

<p>This fall i’m not going anywhere, being waitlist by fin aid:), and rejected almost everywhere:D
I intend to apply again this winter, but some guys said that it’s fine for intl’s students to take 1 gap year, but 2 gap years would be terrible - somewhat they meant Visa things…
Any one who knows anything might tell me, thanks for your help, I’m so confused!
Ofcourse I keep working on my ECs and make it sound as deep as possible…</p>
