Are you definitely taking the gap year?

If No, then you have to apply now so you have a place to study next year.

If Yes, then this can wait, but it doesn’t have to. If you are accepted, you can ask to defer enrollment until after the gap year. If you think that your gap year experience will influence your eventual career goals, and may change the list of colleges/universities that you want to apply to, then you should probably wait until next year to apply.

Wishing you all the best!
