Maybe what you seek is in another Faculty all together. While I don't doubt its difficulty to attain, there are limitations to what you can take in terms of Grad Degrees afterwards with an English degree. You may find that a Bachelor's in another Faculty will take your farther than a Grad Degree, depending on what you want.
there are loads of options in grad school that don't necessarily have to follow from what you majored in. I know that I could get into psychology (a proper MSc or MA, not just counseling), based on having taken psych and neuroscience courses at the undergrad level. Same for philosophy, same for film, etc. etc. At some smaller universities, they're even more forgiving and basically just require you to take a couple of courses as preparation, which you can do after you are already enroled.

I'm really just looking for more options. Maybe stuff I haven't thought of.
