Would I get into an American MA Program??

Undergraduate Degree - B.A. (Hons) English Literature 2.1 (67%)

US International Equivilancy: 3.48-3.52/4.00 GPA (first figure based on 2nd and 3rd year, last figured on units counting towards classification, worked out from World Education Services)

MA in English - Arizona State Univeristy
Master in Liberal Arts - Johns Hopkins University

Both the online options, or if not these, any other lower ranking US uni's?

If I was single i'd be tempted to move to the states for further study; however, i am in a cohabiting long term relationship and would be unhappy moving out on my own, so online is my only option for US study,

Very kind advice, all id say is i didnt go to Oxbridge or a Russell Group... I went to a 50's rank uni but a Consistent Top 20 for my subject. Oxbridge might have helped their application somewhat :tongue:

Do you have a better calculator for me to work from?

I haven't had my grade formually calcuated by WES yet (i would have to do this to apply) but i did use their calcuator and got 3.52

However, I did calculate 2nd and 3rd year and i only got graded on third year as my uni either does 100% of third year marks or 40% 2nd year 60% 3rd year. Might have made a difference

Strange, they told me they'd need it as part of the application...

Also re did the calculation based on my grades taken into account for classification instead of all grades (Method 1: 100% year 3, Method 2: 40% Year 2, 60% Year 3 - whichever is higher). I achieved Method 1, and earned, you've guessed it, a 3.67.

Thanks for all the help my friend!
