<p>I’m debating whether or not to do this 5 yr program. If i did it, i’d be getting an ScB in Bio and an AB in Classics. Do any of you know people who are in the 5 yr program, is it worth (i don’t mean financially) the extra year to have the 2nd degree. I will probably be going on to med-school, and the classics thing is simply cuz I like it, I don’t really plan on doing anything with it later in my life, so should I bother getting a Bachelor’s in it?</p>
<p>Then again, I don’t know if I even want to get an ScB in Bio, maybe i should just get two ABs.</p>
<p>I don't know any answers to your questions, but what classics courses are you thinking of taking this fall? I think I can place into Greek 111 and Latin 30, and I would love to take a culture course, but I think it'd be too much.</p>
<p>Since I already have a year's worth of credit at the University of Minnesota, I'm going to see if they'll let me do the dual-degree program in four years.</p>
<p>It's honestly not worth your money or time to just get another degree.</p>
<p>Paying for the 5th year is not an issue, so i'd really like you guys to not factor that in when you're giving me advice.</p>
<p>Although, I've been thinking and obviously the reason why you need 5 years is cuz you wouldnt be able to have the freedom to take other classes, and well, that's really what I want to do at Brown, just take whatever the hell I want, so right now I'm leaning towards just a degree in Bio and then taking whatever classes I feel like taking.</p>
<p>Rabo: I havent gotten the stuff yet, have the book I've had for like a year "The Bulletin" I would probly take like Greek 40 and Latin 104 or 106. Did you mean Greek 11? Cuz i've never heard of someone knowing Ancient Greek better than they know Latin, hell, I've barely heard of people outside of my school knowing any Ancient Greek at all.
Did you go to ADOCH and sit in on a Fortunatus class?</p>
<p>I've taken 4 semesters of college Greek which would put me in Greek111. I had 4 years of Latin, but high school Latin, and haven't taken it in 2 years, so I'm hoping for Latin 30. I did sit in on the Fortunatus class! It was awesome.</p>
<p>oh yeah, the whole college classes in high school thing is really foreign to me, i never suspect that. Cool, yeah, i've had 5 years of Latin and 2.5 of Greek (dropped the class this semester to do a senior project). My friend remembers you from his fortunatus class. (he was visiting also)</p>
<p>I'm a little confused with some things about you Rabo:
1) CNY=?
2) 4 years of latin, but high school latin, and haven't taken it in 2 years, but your profile says you're born in 87.</p>
<p>CNY is Central New York. Or Upstate, I guess, although too often people from Westchester try to say they're from Upstate, and they're just not. </p>
<p>Latin in my school starts in 7th grade, so I took it from 7-10th grade. Actually, none of the language classes go past 10th grade, so when it comes to 4 years of a language for college, kids from my school can be really screwed, since middle school language courses usually only count as half a course.</p>
<p>Would I remember your friend? I remember talking to a girl there, and there might have been a guy sitting next to me. I don't really remember.</p>
<p>If you want to go to med school, getting a Sc.B really won't look stronger than getting an A.B. Many kids get into top med schools with A.B.s in humanities/social sciences and the standard pre-med curriculum (which, as you probably know, is not a major but an additional set of certain science classes from various disciplines).</p>
