I got into some funded MA programs at state unis and I was not a stellar undergrad so I bet you'll get in somewhere. I took a year off after getting my BA and worked on a couple of different organic farms. Jobs are easy to come by, it's a great way to see different parts of the country, and it has been really nice to get my head out of the clouds/books and spend some time outside working with my body. Compensation, predictably, is not stellar, but it is more than enough to live on since most farms will give you room and board. Something to think about.
