[quote=Anonymous]Agreed that undergrad doesn't necessarily matter a lot in terms of prestige - I did my PhD at Johns Hopkins and fed straight in from an undergrad in western Canada. I will say though that my undergrad in western Canada was at a fantastic public research institution which enabled me to take classes in my subject (history) but also chemistry, physics, biochem, physiology, religion, bioethics, English, music, math. I don't know that a small religious college would have stood me in good stead in applying for grad school to major east coast privates. So on that note, I fully echo the PPs who have encouraged an open mind. Spend time in undergraduate becoming as well rounded as you can; take a variety of classes and don't go in with a set plan. Find things that challenge you. Then reevaluate in junior year. And think about finding a college that will set you up for whatever you decide to do, not that will set you up for a classics PhD or law degree alone.[/quote]
