I'm currently trying to decided where to apply, having to balance best programs with long-term livability of the area (my wife's focus). I graduated this year from the University of Colorado Colorado Springs with a 3.9. My period of interest is Late Antiquity/Early Medieval. I have had papers published in UC Denver’s Historical Studies Journal and Hortulus: The Online Graduate Journal of Medieval Studies. I took German in undergrad, but have not yet taken Latin or any other classical language. I'd like feedback upon the following list of school best match up with these qualifications and goals. Can some be add or others taken off.
Uni. Of Chicago
Duke University
Uni. Of Washington
Princeton
Uni. Of Virginia
Uni. Of North Carolina
Northwestern
Uni. Of New Mexico
Norte Dame
Uni. Of Texas at Austin
