Guh.

Okay, I have to finish my bachelor's degree now. Because I am *so* applying to this MA program afterwards. Partially because it's a degree in cult movies (and television), but mostly because it'd give me unfettered access to the Brunel University Cult Film Archive. Also, England is awesome.

Shame they require an honors degree. I'd have to work my rear end off to reverse the damage done my first few years of college. Then again, maybe Classic-Horror.com is qualification enough.

They'd probably accept a four year US degree provided there was a senior thesis involved. A regular degree from a British university is 3 years, an Honours degree is 4 years with a research component. Kinda like a hardcore senior thesis, but I'm told when converting stuff like that, as long as you have a decent GPA and a solid senior thesis tucked under your belt, they look favourably upon it.

Plus I think your Classic-Horror.com experience would look great on the application :)

If only it were that easy at ASU. Senior Thesis is only available through the honor's college here, which is a pain to get into. That being said, if he pulled excellent grades for the first year and then applied to Barret, he could probably get into the program, since ASU doesn't count transfer grades for stuff like that once you've got an ASU GPA.

*pokes Nate* That's my way of saying you should do it, by the way. Besides, then I'd have even more reason to go to London for my vet school.
