Full of information, that is. I have realized that the deadlines to apply for schools are starting quickly, and it being January 1st, I guess there's no better time to commence applying, right? So, schools added to my list:
--Marquette
--Northern Illinois
--St. Louis
-- Eastern Illinois
-- Western Illinois

Basically, I'm going on who has a good program in Early Modern European history (my joy and passion, at least as far as history is concerned, lol) and who has a good amount of assistantships---because man, having everything (more or less) paid for would be nice. My GPA is good, so here's hoping!
I take the GRE in a little over a week. Let the madness begin ...
