This is excellent advice. Get a little real world experience under your belt, attend some conferences, or maybe, consider asking some of your former instructors to let you work with them on papers that will be submitted for publication. Getting into graduate school isn't all about grades. In a lot of cases, admissions officers want to bring some sort of balance to the program, meaning they want people from a wide variety of backgrounds with different experiences.
Being turned down is not the end of the world. It sucks, but ultimately you'll get in. Don't let this deter you.
