I am in a similar situation. My bachelors will be in Linguistics, so I will already have some of the prereqs completed, so I plan to apply to 3 year programs in particular and hopefully get in somewhere. If I don't, I will use that year to either work/shadow/take some classes (not really certain on my "plan B" yet) and then apply again. And then there are also a few schools that offer Spring admission, so maybe I would try for those? Ugh, I don't know. I'm hoping to get in the first time so I don't have to worry about all of this, but we'll see.
