  39. CANESDepartment of Classical and Near Eastern Studies http://www.princetonreview.com/Majors.aspx?cip=161200&page=1 From the Princeton Review: “We can't overestimate the value of a Classics major. . . . according to the Association of American Medical Colleges, students who major or double-major in Classics have a better success rate getting into medical school than do students who concentrate solely in biology, microbiology, and other branches of science. . . .”

  40. CANESDepartment of Classical and Near Eastern Studies http://www.princetonreview.com/Majors.aspx?cip=161200&page=1 From the Princeton Review: “Furthermore, according to Harvard Magazine, Classics majors (and math majors) have the highest success rates of any majors in law school. . . . political science, economics, and pre-law majors lag fairly far behind. . . . furthermore, Classics majors consistently have some of the highest scores on GREs of all undergraduates.”
