Baby Britain

ALSO not to lay all of my problems out for y'all, but I think its worth noting my previously mentioned pre-med days did not leave my GPA unscathed. Nothing catastrophic, just a C or two (I'm looking at you, ochem), but I will most likely graduate with around a 3.7 from a decently ranked but not super prestigious undergraduate institution and I spend way too much time driving myself crazy lurking on internet forums (?) to have any realistic understanding of what that means for my chances. I don't know if this complicates things or is just completely irrelevant, but I thought I would provide as full a picture as possible of what my situation is.

Hi all... my sob story is as follows:) I realized what I loved way too late in my time as an undergraduate and am now facing the reality of being a graduating senior with no job prospects (read: hardcore anti-capitalist who's simultaneously too jaded for non-profit work and too moral for consulting) and grad school dreams that I can't seem to ignore. After a year-long stint as a pre-med systems bio major, I'm now a psychology and environmental studies major, with the majority of my coursework falling under the environmental studies half of that label- I've gone in a different direction than most others in the program so the vast majority of my classes are in disciplines that border on what one might call the environmental humanities. In many ways I consider the diversity of my coursework a strength if we're speaking strictly about my development as a student, but I do think not having a clear path into a specific field makes me a hard sell from an admissions perspective. I've been looking into English MA programs but the majority of them require either a specific amount of English coursework or that you have "adequate preparation for graduate level study in English," whatever that means. Were I to even get into an English MA program, looking down the road to PhD programs it seems like almost all of their current students have English BAs. This does not seem encouraging. I guess I'm wondering whether my coming from a separate, albeit related, discipline is surmountable, and, if so, what the best path might be. For context my primary interest lies in early modern utopian fiction, specifically the works of Francis Bacon and Margaret Cavendish. I've seen some MA programs in things like Early Modern Studies and Environmental Studies that would probably be easier to get into, but I don't know that they would make that transition any easier. Just looking for any advice on how to proceed!
