<p>Was just wondering why Brown isn't listed on CC?? </p>
<p>I received an e-mail from them regarding my "interest in the Classics." I've never contacted them regarding same and was wondering what, if anything, receiving an e-mail from them means? I do take Latin (president of Latin Club) and am interested in further study in college, but have never contacted them.</p>
<p>Anyone with any insight as to either of my questions?</p>
<p>Ivies purchase lists of students from testing companies, sometimes pinpointing certain underrepresented zip codes. They are always looking for a wider group of applicants. If you are URM, especially African-American or Native American, those scores could be in range.</p>
<p>Sounds like your interest in classics attracted them. Major universities like Brown take pride in being able to offer a wide selection of majors, and it's an asset to be a prospective student who's a possible major in a department that has difficulty attracting students. </p>
<p>Perhaps when you took your college boards, you expressed an interest in majoring in classics.</p>
<p>Maybe I did list Classics/Latin as a possible major when taking the SATs -- really can't remember. I'm just curious if Brown (or any other ivy-league school) would even take a look at me. I'm flattered, but very curious!</p>
<p>It's hard to find classics majors. That doesn't mean that you'll definitely be admitted, but does mean that you have something going for you that would interest colleges like Brown, which have to find students for a large variety of departments despite being deluged with applicants from students who plan majors in fields related to premed.</p>
