Also I just want to add that if you're planning on living on the AmeriCorps stipend (ie not living with parents/SO), paying for secondaries can be impossible (you're only paid about $900 a month depending on location). So unless you have a decent amount in savings (at least a several hundred), or relatives that are willing to help out with secondaries and interview costs, if I were you I would select a gap year position that paid more. Not that it's all about the money.... but secondary costs cannot be overlooked when you are picking a gap year option, especially if you are planning on applying broadly.
It worked out for me, since I live at home right now, but I've been working almost 4 months and this is the first month my paycheck hasn't been immediately funneled into application costs.
Feel free to message me if you want me info about AmeriCorps!
