<p>There are PLENTY of Plan II/Classics majors. There is a lot of flexibility in doing double majors within Liberal Arts, and a lot of folks do it. The Plan II World Lit class covers a lot of classics in translation. But no matter what, Plan II the freshman year is just 12 hours so there is quite a bit of room for you to take any classics courses you want.</p>
<p>LAH is just honors sections of some of the regular classes for frosh/soph year and a single hour honors seminar course. It’s universally accepted that Plan II has much better courses for those years. They are also much more well-rounded, as they are not exclusively COLA courses. P2 kids can take higher-level and special sections of math and science courses, while LAH kids are stuck in with everybody else for those. Plan II has little coursework junior and senior years. LAH for those years is a departmental honors program and Plan II kids can participate in that (just not the freshman honors program). For her P2 thesis, she could just write a Classics honors thesis and use it for Plan II, and that would work well. AND they say that if you are particularly strong in a Liberal Arts area, the advisors will often let you register for the LAH course if there is no Plan II course in that area.</p>
<p>I am planning on dual majoring within the COLA (either Linguistics, Classics, Spanish, or Latin American History). I don’t think I will have very many problems doing so at all.</p>
<p>I’d say if she gets in to both do Plan II. She sounds very well qualified and would likely get in if it were based on stats alone. But it isn’t. Stats are just 20% of the criteria (and you haven’t given a rank, which is included, while GPA isn’t). Essays are 40%, so they make or break you. The resume is 20%, and all other extraneous criteria are 20%.</p>
<p>Good luck and let us know what you choose.</p>
