<p>After the 15th someone should compile some sort of stat set to look at the data we have here on ED applicants. It could show admission by geographical area, SAT, rank, etc...I'd do it if i had excel or something.</p>
<p>I really love the idea of the classics major. I love foreign languages, so the study of greek (new to me) and latin will be a great challenge. But it's not just the language. As a classics major you learn literature, politics, history, philosophy, linguistics, and end up becoming SUPER educated. I really want to learn a lot in college, and I think I can learn the most interesting things to me via Classics. And you?</p>
<p>Same reasons pretty much. What I find so fascinating is that the literature of the ancients, as well as their culture, politics, philosophy, etc. is still so relevant to our world today. Everyone always says, "oh, Latin's dead, why do you want to be a classics major, waste of four years blah blah," but there's so much more to it than what they realize! </p>
<p>Princeton has a great department... I was all set to apply to P-ton early, but then I saw Yale....they're both my #1, and if I get into either I'll be more than ecstatic.
Good luck!</p>
<p>Well they account for that. My school district is set up so that you start language in sixth grade and then the high school sequence in eigth. I took AP vergil last year and that would be the equivalent of first year Latin at Princeton...from what someone at Princeton told me, you can come in and start both languages from scratch and be fine, so no worries.</p>
<p>first year latin at princeton? isnt that a little beyond first year latin? (the aenied seems like it's a 300 level course...first year latin is grammar) i was hoping to take the intensive/advanced intermediate course if i could in livy/cicero but i'm not sure i will be able to</p>
<p>English (yay!), Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese. I start Japanese this week (was supposed to last week, but I have theatre performances going on)</p>
