I am coming to the end of my 2nd year of undergrad, and seriously considering further study, probably in Medieval French. This year, once I was able to specialise in medieval, my marks have risen to fairly consistent firsts, and I have won a couple of prizes and travel grants. However, in my first year I didn't do amazingly, averaging high 2.1 in French with a first in essay paper, but high 2.2 in spanish due to an abysmal spanish grammar mark. I can't tell whether or not this will hold me back in standing a chance for getting funding at all, or if I had good enough references and whatnot with solid predictions it wouldn't matter?
I have vaguely mentioned doing post-grad to my tutors and they seem enthusiastic, but I can't tell whether they are just like that with anyone...
