History Candidacy Question

[mysticchordsofmemory]

Hi everyone,

 

Long time lurker, first time poster. Wondering if anyone could provide some insight on my candidacy for applying to a terminal MA program in history. I feel a little overwhelmed about applying to US schools as a Canadian, and I don't have a GRE score (which, understandably precludes me from many schools). Nonetheless, I'm interested in applying to Yale, NYU, McGill, UBC, and the LSE/Columbia joint MSc program in international history. To be honest, I'm desperate to get some information about where I stand. I know this is hard to answer but I'm trying to ascertain whether I am in way over my head in applying to these top tier schools (namely Yale and LSE/Columbia).

 

Here's my current stats:

 

Undergrad Institution: T3 Canadian school (history major)

GPA: 3.8cGPA, 3.85 within history program

Extracurriculars: varsity athlete, undergrad history journal editor, student government, model UN, greek life

Work Experience: History internship overseas, communications internship for a non-profit, volunteer EMT

LORs: Three confirmed LORs from professors in the history department, including the chair of the department

 

So tell me straight! Given my GPA, work experience, extracurriculars, what are my chances like?
