[quote=Anonymous]Of the three, excellence at St. Johns is probably the most respected of the three for your particular goal. Why do you think you are going to do that much better in college than you did in high school? Do you speak any foreign languages? Obviously for classics you need to speak at least one classic tongue, but to go further than a BA, you also probably need fluency in at least one traditional modern tongue so that you can read the secondary literature. For European History, you have to be able to read primary source material, let alone secondary source material. You won't make it as a scholar in either of those areas without this ability. (And yes, I did investigate this question when I was finishing my undergrad and deciding NOT to become an historian.)[/quote]
