During a go-around, after applying full power, what is the next immediate priority?

Immediately after applying full power in a go-around, the next priority is to establish a positive rate of climb. This means pitching to a climb attitude so the aircraft actually gains altitude, ensuring you clear any obstacles and transition safely from the approach to the circuit. Descending to pattern altitude or maintaining altitude would not move you away from the immediate obstacle or runway area, and pitching down to gain speed would cause you to lose altitude when you need to be climbing. Once you have a positive rate of climb, you can smoothly manage airspeed and configuration (retracting flaps/gear as appropriate) and continue the climb.
