Next year is my honours year. So no. After that I plan on applying for some universities (including Oxford) - and not just applying for MAs and PhDs, but also probably JDs. Additionally, I also will apply for graduate jobs and such (with the possibility of studying part-time as well, if that would work)... I'm not really sure what I want to do, so I'll try to give myself many different options. Which means sitting both the LSAT and the GRE as well as filling out many applications (sigh). But we digress!

At Oxford, they're known as M.phil and D.phil respectively. Just in case you're confused later on :)
pi:
How much different is the atmosphere of private schools when compared to decent government schools (not the ones where half the cohort drop out in yr 10)? I've only ever attended government schools and is there much difference?
burbs:
Yes its completely different. I went to Haileybury.
Eriny:
^ Did you also go to a public school where you could actually compare the atmosphere?
I imagine that different schools are... well, different. It would probably be unfair to say 'all private schools have X atmosphere' and 'all public schools have Y atmosphere'. And then Catholic schools would probably be different again - there are some really good ones and some really middling ones.
MuggedByReality:
I've attended both. I suppose the main difference was that the private school tried hard to engage students who weren't immediately interested, the state school less so.
