Try to Find a Job

Thus, you will get valuable experience and develop your skills, which will be useful in the future. That will definitely be a huge plus when you will try to apply to a university of your dream one more time.
Continue to Study
Do not miss a chance to enroll in summer courses or college, as it will make a good impression on the admission committee and let you stand out from other applicants. Moreover, studying is a nice way to distract yourself form unpleasant news and start working for your future success.
Spend Your Time with Family
As soon as you will be excepted to a university course, you will not have much time to spend with your family. Enjoy this free year in the family circle. Live one more year with your parents, help them and gain valuable experience for the future. One day you will create your own family and you will need to know much of how to be a parent.
Understand Why Your Application was Rejected

There is always a chance to try again, and your second attempt may be successful if you work on mistakes. Moreover, that will develop your critical and analytical thinking for sure.
Have a Back-Up Plan
Universities offer a wide range of subjects and courses to study. Thus, if you fail to enter the department of your dream, it is reasonable to choose other direction, which may be more successful for you. Even if you will not enter the university, you can always study, develop and realize yourself in a number of other ways. Just think about your plan B.
Revise Before Exams
Do you think of re-application? Then it is better to revise all the information before the admission exam. Of course, you can be good at the subject and know a lot, but some things you will definitely forget, while they may be essential for the final result. Thus, revise information systematically to be fully armed before the day of the exam comes.
Attend Conferences
Try to take part in different student’s conferences as soon as possible. They will not only help you to develop yourself and gain useful experience, but you will also have a chance to communicate with other students, share your problem with you, and maybe, they will give you a piece of advice how to solve that problem.
Stay Active
Use that free year to go in for sports and improve your physical health. Also, do not hesitate to take part in different sports events for students. Thus, you will be able to mention this in your application letter, and add up some points on your account. Actually, sport is one of reasons for acceptance of your application.
