Medieval Studies Grad School Acceptance?

Applying to College
1

<p>I am a Medieval Studies (Interdisciplinary Studies) rising sophomore with a 4.0 gpa from USouthCarolina. I am interested in studying Christianization (specifically of the Germanic tribes) in the Medieval world and the relationship between the various Indo-European derived religions. I am hoping to apply for Phd or MA programs like Cornell, Toronto, Oxford, Leeds, UChicago, etc. My question is, how competitive are these programs and what does an accepted applicant look like? </p>

<p>My Expected Languages by Application time:
Latin (4 years)
German (3 years)
Old English (1 year)
Norse (1 year)</p>

<p>Research (beginning Sophomore year):
Examination of the justification of the old gods held by Snorri in the Prose Edda</p>

<p>Will I have a chance if I continue this path?</p>
