[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Encouraging my son to major in Latin at a top school. He’s a 4.0 UW gpa at a rigorous school, but a white male with very meh ECs. Hes going to do a dig in the Middle East over the summer, and is volunteering at a museum to try to boost this faux niche interest. He’s going to end up in graduate school, likely for law, anyway so his undergrad major (if it was not going to be science regardless) does not matter. [/quote] A lot of kids try to get in with classics, not as unique a move as you think.[/quote] My friend's son got into Brown as a Classics major (plus was a legacy). He'd also taken Latin all through school, studied Greek independently, participated in competitions/conventions all 4 years, and did, in fact, graduate as a Classics major (and went on to work in IB). I don't think you get much benefit applying as a Classics major if you don't have the transcript and activities to back it up.[/quote]
