Is it harder to get into a fairly high ranking university after high school, if you take a year off first?

It may be harder to get motivated to apply, when none of your friends are doing it, but all freshmen are evaluated equally, so it shouldn’t be a problem.

No, not at all. It depends on what you do during that year, and why you took it off. For some people, it can help – especially if they used that year to do something high – impact, and which they can talk about in their essays. Work experience, or volunteer work, or travel, or… actually, a wide variety of things qualify, so long as you felt it was important to you, and you can talk about that in an essay and bring it out for the admissions committee.

It can’t possibly help, i’m in high school and i can’t imagine taking a year off and expect to function properly and maintain honour grades.

It won’t make a difference for admission. Your admission test scores are good for a few years. You won’t be at any disadvantage because you have been out of school.
