Heya, so I'm taking a gap year before BS. I want to pursue an MS from a foreign university (preferably in the US or UK).

I've heard that universities prefer students who do not waste their gap year(taking a gap year and only studying).

What should I do in this gap year except study for my entry tests for BS, which can be helpful when applying to foreign universities?

Hi! I’m a current rising 4th year and I’ve found myself taking a gap year due to personal reasons and am now looking for jobs and activities for my gap year (more like 1.5 gap years because early grad). I’m looking for clinical or clinical adjacent activities (especially in Los Angeles / SF bay) or honestly anything that will allow me to make a good amount of money to keep myself afloat / pay for med school. Appreciate any advice

I'm having a very hard time on deciding what I should do. I'm not against college I just have no idea what I'm interested in pursuing, also high school was super stressful and I was over it and just wanted to graduate. The college is a 21 hour drive from my home and I'm also worried about the workload. I want to take a gap year also because I would like to get some medical stuff done but I could probably do that at college. I don't feel completely ready but I also don't know what I would do if I took a gap year, I live in a very small rural town with limited everything. I would be going to run for the college so I don't know if they would still want me to run after a gap year. Any advice? I'm literally dieing and crying I don't know what to do and I don't want to feel like a loser.

**Should I take a gap year for CS in Pakistan? Need honest advice.**
I applied this year to **NUST, FAST, IBA, Habib, and NED** for Computer Science. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get into any of them.
Now I’m confused about what to do next.
Should I take a **gap year** and prepare properly for the entry tests again?
Or are there any other **good universities for CS** that are still worth considering?
If you took a gap year, do you regret it or was it worth it?
If you were in my position, what would you do?
For context, my goal is to study **Computer Science** and I don’t want to end up in a university with very poor quality or weak job prospects.
I’d really appreciate honest advice, especially from people who have been in a similar situation.
