I really want to do a postgrad. It's partly a hobby thing and partly a work thing. The course I'm most interested in is a Master's in 19th century literature, with a particular focus on material culture.
The thing is, I was a proper slacker as an undergraduate (which was in the mid-1990s) and also crap at exams (get stupidly nervous, forget everything I know). I only got a 2:2. (Although it was from Oxford).
But I'm quite clever if something really grabs me - the Finals papers I actually liked I remember I got a 75 and a 74 in, which would have put me in the top 5% of marks, I think.
So...the academics on here, am I kidding myself, do you think? Or should I apply and see how I get on? Any advice (including sensible discouragement) much appreciated.
