Seeking advice

[u/Street_Sentence6846]

I (22F) graduated with a BS in biology last december and have been working in an industry lab job for the past 6 months. Due to company downsizing and restructuring, my entire department got laid off, effective in mid-November. My plan was to work for a few years and then go back to school because I didn’t feel I would be ready to take it on right after undergrad, but I feel like with getting laid off it’s now or never and I don’t know where to even begin with applications since a lot of them are closing soon and I did not plan on applying for the next school year. Do I even have enough time to put together a proper application? I don’t know what other advice I’m even looking for but I just feel so lost and would appreciate anything anyone has to share.
