<p>Blasphamy! I hope no one from Greece or parts of Egypt is reading this and on the admissions board.</p>

<p>I'd say as long as you pull your test scores up a little (and let's be honest, they hardly matter as much as many people think) you've got a fine shot. Then again, I got into Princeton the (slightly) easier way (graduate school).</p>

<p>yes like latin. Coptic is a dead language that combines aramaic (the language that christ spoke, with the greek language that hebrew texts were translated into). I'm coptic/Greek orthodox. I'm one of the very few people in the world who can actually speak the langauge fluently, because it is a dead language.</p>

<p>Princeton is undergrad. There is no graduate school...???</p>

<p>Ummmmm...what? There is ABSOLUTELY a graduate school at Princeton. Are you out of your mind? There's over 2000 of us! How do you think Princeton maintains itself as one of the great research institutions?! Who do you think will grade your homework here? Along with that quite a few of the programs here are very highly regarded.</p>

<p>My God....just in case you don't believe me:

<p>And yeah, I know what Coptic is. Telling me it's "like Latin" is like saying Russian is 'like Ukranian.' And my theology professor (at Notre Dame) spoke it (oh snap!). I guess I could see where you're going with this if you're just saying it's "like Latin" because they're both dead languages.
But hey, thanks for the lecture on ancient Near Eastern languages.</p>

<p>There are fantastic graduate divisions. But there are no professional schools, i.e. law schools, med school, bus school, which makes for a great undergraduate focused place.</p>

<p>Well, the Woodrow Wilson school is considered to be a professional school, but we won't get into that. Yes, it's quite true we don't have a medical or law school. I suppose I could forgive it if the guy didn't realize that graduate school was much much more than just law or medicine. I guess I didn't know much better either when I was in high school.</p>
