Ooh, interesting choice. Very few ppl apply to ivies in classics, and generally, almost all who do are accepted. You should definitely take classes (online probably) that teach Egyptian history, and a hieroglyphics course would be extremely beneficial. Without even seeing your application to Brown, I would say you have a good shot (if your academics are even just average out of the pool). Also, I’d look at Yale if you have a good application. I’m not sure if they have this major, but they allow you to design your own major in some cases, and this would be one such case. Cool choice! :D

I want to major in bioarchaeology, btw.
