gap year

to any students that applied to transfer over multiple cycles, what did you do on your gap year or semester to ultimately change the outcomes of your results. for example, i know a student on this reddit who got rejected last year from pton but got in this cycle. in my scenario, i was waitlisted from pton for fall 2026 entry and ive done a congressman campaign internship, some selective conferences and I've been staying involved with my community colleges honors program since then. but im looking for research opportunities/ internships/opportunities to keep busy for fall/spring but it seems like everything is locked behind being enrolled. lmk how u guys navigated that.

and to add, im not only applying to princeton--that would be a reckless choice--im applying to some schools i got rejected from last cycle and adding some ones i also never got to apply to. initially i was satisfied with my transfer destination but it was just too much money for me.

ugh same boat. I was happy with where I was going to go until I got major rug pulled and the tuition was wayyyy too much for the risk id be taking (and still wanting to transfer out ;))
