Hello fellows ,
I am an international student with a BA in English from a local university. A couple years ago i tried to go into publishing world and currently my first novel in it's way to be print.
I was supposed to be starting my MA in Linguistics in University of Birmingham this year, but i postpone it until next September and will start an online MA in English in January because I have a lot of spare time. I know it will be a bit overwhelming, but I want to show to Oxford's admission how serious I am.
I also have a work experience at university level but for a short time only four months.
Normally I am "a hardworking girl that is punctual and promised with a bright future" that's what one of my professors said about me.
My only problem is my GPA as I was not the most hardworking person and I was rebellious, if I may say. and I wasn't aware of whether I will be allowed to dream of going abroad and continue my studies or not until i determined to do so.
So, should I dream of going to Oxford or not? is GPA the only criteria to judge ones fully potential? what could I do to boost my chances of getting into Oxford? Dare I dream about Oxford or should my dream just remain a dream?
by the way my intended course is Mst in English from 1900 to present.
so any tips
Thanks in advance
