They could also think that you went to a challenging undergrad program or chose challenging classes, and may have gotten straight As at a less challenging school.

I'll be graduating with an MA in art history and I'm hoping to apply to PhD programs soon, but in the meantime I'd like to find a position that will contribute to my PhD applications. Any suggestions on where to look? I have already completed many unpaid internships, one research-based, so I'd prefer to find a full-time job. I've seen listings for fellowships but it looks like you already have to be enrolled in a PhD program.

I took a year off before my master's program and I'm so glad I did. It helped expose me to many sides of the art world that I had not interacted with in the bubble of my undergrad program. It helped me narrow my interests, decide what I did NOT want to do, and (after many hours of filing and copying) so grateful to be back in the classroom and challenged intellectually.
