<p>The applied German approach does offer options. Someone at McGill University in Montreal is doing a double major in philosophy and German Literature. As some of the great philosophers were German, this creates some synergies like allowing him to research the philosophers’ writings in their native tongue. </p>
<p>I don’t know how strong McGill is relative to other schools in German, but he loves his professors. He will be doing his junior year abroad in Germany paying only his McGill fees. As the current conversion rate between U.S. and the Canadian dollar, that is quite a deal. Certainly, your G.P.A. is terrific but you may want to get your scores up a bit. At our local school, SAT of 2100 and ACT of 31 appears to be the magic numbers most years. Unfortunately, the buzz about McGill’s affordability and academics have made it more competitive to get in - that is for those that can endure some SERIOUSLY cold winters.</p>
