I'm currently a history major at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, it's a large school (>25,000) with a decent reputation but nothing like UW-Madison or Marquette. I'm a junior majoring in history and minoring in the comparative study of religion. I've done plenty of research on both MA and PhD programs in history but would like some opinions/advice.

My "stats":
3.5 overall gpa
3.7 major gpa
internships (will do an internship at the public museum this summer)
fluent in Hebrew, Russian, almost fluent in French, taking German next semester
officer, soon to be president of local Phi Alpha Theta chapter (history honors society)
somewhat good relationships/networking with professors who have some influence on the colleges I will be applying to

I am most likely going to go for an MA rather than into a PhD program right away, although this is not final.

My focus/interest is modern European/German history mainly focusing on WWII, developing a focus/interest in the influence/role of religion in the Third Reich (I recently researched and wrote a fairly substantial research paper on the topic)


Here are the schools I am considering:
Boston University (first choice due to school's atmosphere/location/reputation)
Boston College
UMass Amherst (not too sure if I will apply here)
Harvard (just to see if I could get in/great school)
UW-Madison (somewhat of a safety, hopefully)
University of Michigan (great school/history program, not too keen on location)
Chicago (supposedly a great history program)

Will consider others but the above are what I have been focusing on/researching for the past year. As you can see, I am very interested in Massachusetts schools and like the area particularly.


So...what are my chances? Any advice? Other schools I should consider?
