I have pretty much getting the average girls down to a science. Pretty much anytime I go out I can get numbers, kisses and sometimes more from these girls but anything above a 7 and i am retarded. These 8 plus girls see me coming a mile a way and put up a shield that I can not break and usually just get driven away. Its time to advance to the next level, but i need advice as to how to get there because right now i just dont have the skill set.
A bit about me: i`m 23 years old, poli sci student, good shape, probably a 7 myself. I think part of the problem is as soon as I perceive a women to be better looking than my self, 7 or higher, i crumble, lose confidence and fail.
So where do I start. clubs, bars or day game, whats the best place to begin when going for the higher ups. How do I alter my approach to break through the bitch shield. I`m not really into canned material but more just general pointers.

Seems like your inner game needs some work. Unfortunately this isn't something that someone can help you with a quick post on the forums. There are so many things to go into that it could fill thousands of pages.

I would recommend you check some stuff out by RSD or anybody that deals with mostly inner / natural game instead of lines, routines, and tactics.
