artlesspredilection got a reaction from transmodalnut in Pre-Grad School Master Plan? (FULL YEAR to spare!)
I'm a grad student in the US, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but if I were you in my gap year, I'd be thinking about the following:
Did you do any research for your senior thesis/MA? If so, turn it into an article you can publish. Build connections/collaborations with your intended research site. Do whatever pilot work you would otherwise have done in your first summer of graduate school (building connections, participant observation, etc.). Apply for fellowships you qualify for as a recent graduate/ incoming grad; not sure what those would be Europe, but seek external funding whenever you can. Are there any methods you plan to use / feel you need to learn/strengthen for your research? Develop what you can now. I found it useful to learn good interviewing skills through volunteering at a clinic and helping w/ an ongoing qual. research; stats skills through helping analyze different datasets, etc. Maybe submit something to a conference or two (apply for travel awards!), attend relevant workshops/summer institutes. -

I also want to add onto what runningwithquills was talking about for MA programs. It is becoming increasingly more common for PhD programs to prefer admitting students who already have their MA because it shows how serious they are about their studies and it shows that they are prepared for original research. I would seriously consider one of the MA offers because it will look better when you start the PhD applications again in the future.

I was the one who filled it in. I can verify that I received my notification: I was not selected. I am sad, but I just know its one of those things where it'll take time to recover.

Just did it now. Good luck to all the other China applicants (and Fulbright applicants in general).
