I've already applied for Masters Degree at Surrey Uni and been accepted when I applied for my Bachelor's Degree, but now I might want to try applying to Oxbridge as have a chance with my grades.
However, if I don't get in I still want to go to Surrey uni for my Master's, so how do I go about doing this without shooting myself in the foot?
Do you need references from your professors when applying for a Master's?
And, if so, how can I ask them without letting them know that"you're uni is 2nd/3rd choice and I'm going to mess around with my place at your uni, a place that some other people are really hoping to get in to ".....without seeming ungrateful?
Additionally, I'd like to do a PhD at Surrey Uni eventually (provided I get the grades etc) so I don't want to decrease my chance and have a bad rapport with my professors.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
