(1) All colleges will look at your GPA, and most want test scores as well. You’ll get better suggestions here if we know your weighted/unweighted GPA, class rank, and any SAT or ACT scores you have.

(2) What can you afford to pay? Will you need substantial financial aid or merit scholarships?

(3) What are you looking for in colleges in terms of size (2000 students? 40,000 students?), setting (rural, suburban, rural), and location (which regions of the US)?

(4) Which state do you live in? You may have excellent options among your state’s public universities.

You’ve expressed an interest in ancient languages, but what are you interested in studying? Greek and Latin are typically taught in classics departments, but most classics departments teach Attic Greek, not Koine, which is more often found in religion departments (it’s sometimes labeled “biblical Greek”). Alternately, perhaps you’d like to major in something like history and study Latin and Greek along the way.
