A fair number of kids with a good background in Classics apply to the tippy-top schools every year. The admissions office is not amazed or impressed by this: while most colleges have some sort of Classics/Classical Civ. major, many don’t have the depth of courses to satisfy someone who’s already had multiple years of Latin and/or Ancient Greek in HS. Yale and most of its peer institutions do, and there are plenty of would-be Classicists who are rejected by them every year.

<p>Some universities like Berkeley release admissions data by major, and there is no indication whatsoever that choosing a less popular major (e.g. Assyriology) is a boost in admissions.</p>
