<p>Hello,</p>
<p>Long time lurker/ first time poster here,</p>
<p>I have an interest in majoring in the classics at a mid size LAC. I would also like a school with strong research opportunities as I plan on applying to med school. I am first generation, in search of schools that offer full need/ no loan if possible. I prefer classes that are discussion based versus large lectures.</p>
<p>Mt Holyoke, MA, if you are female and have the stats to get accepted.</p>
<p>Holy Cross.</p>
<p>Thank you so much. I am currently a junior and have a 4.0 UW and my last sitting of the SAT was 1810. I plan on sitting for it again and will take the ACT on 4/13.</p>
<p>Amherst, Williams, Swarthmore; Princeton, Dartmouth.</p>
<p>Amherst and Williams are on my list of " maybe" schools. The Ivies would laugh at me!! I wouldn’t have a snowballs chance in hell. But I appreciate your input @ Kwu.</p>
<p>And yes, I’m female.</p>
<p>HC offers several full merit scholarships for Classics majors</p>
<p>Wow! That is great to know. Thank you so much. I will take a peek at their website!!! Wowwww!</p>
<p>Union, Wesleyan, HolyCross to name a few. Fordham. NYU is looking for some classics majors a little birdie told me but it is not a LAC.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>OP, if you think the Ivies would laugh at you, then put Amherst and Williams in the laughing list as well. They all have cross admits.</p>
<p>My friend who is a classics professor says Bard is very good for classics. A lot of classicists get their start at St. John’s, which is a “Great Books” program.</p>
<p>Agnes Scott, Barnard, Bowdoin, Bryn Mawr, Carleton, Case Western, Centre , Colgate, Connecticut College, Drew, Emory, Franklin and Marshall, Grinnell, Gustavus Adolphus, Haverford, Holy Cross, Kalamazoo, Kenyon, Macalester, Middlebury, ,Oberlin, Rhodes, St. Olaf, Scripps, Skidmore, Tufts, Union, Vanderbilt, Wabash, Welsleyan, Whitman, Willamette, William and Mary,</p>
<p>Plus all of the ivies, Stanford,the little Ivies. A lot of the big state universities too, including SUNY Buffalo.</p>
<p>Beloit, Carthage College, Kenyon, Gustavus Adolphus College, Lawrence University, Truman State, University of Dallas (very Catholic), Santa Clara University, Trinity University (TX), Davidson College, Sewanee, Rhodes College, University of Richmond</p>
<p>I feel like my GPA is ivy worthy, but my SATs are not. An 1810? I feel like that score puts me in the snowball range…I have been told to apply anyways but not so sure.</p>
<p>I would love to apply to NYU, but they don’t give enough FA so I should probably not waste the time.</p>
<p>I am glad to know that so many schools have great Classic Studies departments. I will check out their websites and try to visit a few. Thanks again for your input. I should have also added that I am interested in African American Studies as well, as a minor.</p>
<p>Definitely look into Emory. If you can get in, its classics program is top notch, as is its African American studies department. Pre-med is incredibly strong, and the financial aid is usually extremely generous.</p>
<p>Thanks you! I appreciate your input.</p>
<p>There was a post by a long-time CC poster and classicist that was really helpful in listing the best classics departments in the States by type of institution. There was a LAC category as well. Can anyone link to it?</p>
<p>That would be great!</p>
<p>@Ghostt,</p>
<p>I found the thread, thanks again. It was very informative.</p>
