<p>Hm, others seem to agree to a certain extent as well. Take for example…</p>
<p>"What about passion for a study that a department desperately needs?</p>
<p>Like…you’re the ONLY kid the application pool who’s saying “I LOOOOVE ANCIENT GREEK, I LOVE LATIN, I LOVE SANSKRIT, I’D LOOOOVE TO STUDY HITTITE!”</p>
<p>And the Classics Department is like “YO! Grab that!”</p>
<p>And the admissions department is like “Step off!”
But the Classics/Linguistics department is like “Biotch, admit this kid!”</p>
<p>Could that happen? Even if that’s not what they would say verbatim?"</p>
<p>Any more opinions? And this applies mainly to really obscure fields. I realize an anthropology major is not an unheard of thing 
Just want to generate some ideas about classics majors.</p>
