  1. Latin and Greek! Personally, 4 years each.
  2. Ok thanks guys! That answered my question.

    GRE question

    So, I'm currently receiving a course substitution at university (for math) and I contacted the ETS disability folks. I turned in all documentation (including the $175 testing fee) requested and the only thing that the offered was double time on the exam. My documentation states that double time wouldn't really be beneficial to me. My question is: Has anyone here ever received a section wavered because of their disability? Or Should I just include an addendum statement explaining the low score?
  4. It depends, what would you like to study?
  5. Does anyone know anything about the University of Vermont's Classics Program?

    No you're not being a downer it is reality that I am only now coming to terms with. As it stands I am signed up for Greek 101 for next semester , but I might drop it to focus more fully on Latin I have 3 Latin classes left (202, 421,422) some more upper divisions and I'm done with the degree provided I can get essentially all A's in the remainning latin courses I can have the degree.

    Zouzax, Thanks for your response. It does matter to me. I enjoy Classics....yet I would need to get ALL A's in my remaining Latin courses to actually get the degree. I feel a lot of (self-imposed?) pressure. That and my advisor is a bit of a tosser....So every time I go in to see him, I barely control this anger....Discussing my predicament yesterday, he said he would give me an olive branch (I felt it more to be a salt spring..) and allow me to get a B, and still grant me the degree. I'm so close to finishing this degree, that if i switch now to history it would take quite a bit longer to finish.

    Alright...... So my Latin cumulative gpa is 2.21 the rest of my classes are A/B (mostly history based as I am a Classics major.) I could stay with my classics major (and work to get it up within the next year or so to the 3.0 mark.) Or change to history....and do the classics later. I do have a love for it, but have ran into some personal issues, whivh resulted in C's in my latin courses. I'm considering post undergrad options: 1. post bacc at a school to sharpen up my Latin/Greek/German 2. Is an MA program even a possibility? I also feel like taking the "easy" way out and switching to history, just to concentrate privately on the Latin.
  9. ok so here it is.....I'm in love with The Classics (aren't we all?) I could get my undergrad in classics (with a Latin emphasis) But I'm missing the Greek and the Modern World Lang. My question is: should I stay at my current school and "pick up" the things I'm missing or do a post bac program? Are there funded post bac programs? I know they help me "bone up" on the things I'm missing. Would they, depending on which one I had chosen, help me get into a "good phd program? Or am I woefully misunderstanding how things work? Go easy I'm new at the "life-after-college" thing
