aiming too high? Help!

Thank you @warblersrule ! That is all incredibly helpful, I had been thinking about UNC and this is an excellent prompt. It’s a really good point about Greek, I would need to start from scratch unless I take an intensive course next summer. On the UK universities, I am putting a UCAS application in, although not for Classics but for Ancient history and archaeology, looking at London and Oxford. I’m glad to hear the USC update too, I was really impressed with them. This really has been extremely helpful.
