You’re in luck. How’s your Greek? Err? Not to good? Well many schools have Classical Greek Civ. Majors where no Greek or Latin is a formal requirement. That means you could tag along another foreign language like German or French and just take some beginner Latin courses, which go as pre nothings, to brush up and to show that you know some on your Grad. School app.

Also, think about dual major in Anthropology or at least a minor. It can show good English, research and critical thinking and some Classicist do field work. If you can imagine that.

Another thing. I think you maybe overestimating how good the average Latin college student is a bit.
