Grad role delayed until May 2021 - what to do?

My graduate role in consulting in London has been delayed from October 2020 until May 2021. What should I be looking to do within this period to best utilise my time?

I've already been considering applying to other internships (mainly 6 month off-cycles), as well as studying the GMAT in order to make an application for a Masters in Finance programme beginning in Sep 2022 (IB is one of my goals).

What else could I do?
