Is your 3.5 GPA weighted or unweighted? What is your home state?

You mentioned in another thread that you have dual citizenship. What is the other country where you have citizenship (assuming that the US is one of them)?

If you take a gap year and reapply to the same schools then you will be mostly sending them the same information again, except that you will also have your grades for the current semester, plus whatever activity you do during your gap year. If you do one year at community college then you high school grades will still matter. As such since you have been rejected by the four schools that you wanted to go to, then you are most likely going to need to find different schools to try to get into unless you both are willing to do two years at community college and can get substantially higher grades when you are at community college.

In another thread you say “…as well as explain why my grades have been lower recently”. Whatever has caused your grades to be lower, you will need to explain why this isn’t going to carry over into university. You should expect university to be more difficult than high school.

@zannah is correct that there are a lot of universities that can provide a good education, and that you should be looking at your in-state public schools. With a 3.5 GPA depending upon what state you are in you might need to consider in-state public schools other than the in-state flagship.
