Gap year before joining a MSc in target university

Hello everyone.

Unfortunately i didn't pass Bocconi University's test and now the best rounds for the other top business school are gone. Now i have 2 choices, joining a master degree in a non target university (Luiss in Rome) or taking a gap year while doing big 4 interships and preparing a good gmat for the next year. How will Mbb recruiters see this kind of thing? Will the gap year disadvantage my profile?
