Well what are some 2nd tier LACs with strong Classics departments?
It's a rare major even at the most liberal arts college. Try literature for your associates and then transfer into a program once you get to a good 4 year college with a program. Also, look into Cape Town University in South Africa.
Classics, done well, are largely in the top liberal arts universities - and not really in very conservative school.
I'd frankly recommend a gap year for you[u] - go out and travel, see the world, and get a better understanding of your self and ability to grow as a person. There are some interesting programs where you can volunteer/work to boost your CV if you do not like any of the school that are viable options given your current scores and interests. It's been a thing for a while in other countries, and more so in the US. After Obama's kid does her this year, I imagine that the concept will become a lot more main stream.
