" Latin, in fact, proved to
be the high school foreign language which had the
highest positive correlation with both 1) over-all college
academic success, as measured by cumulative GPA,
and 2) freshman college English grades."
Patricia Davis Wiley, The Classical Outlook
Quotes about the value of Latin study from college and university admissions personnel:
"Latin trains abstract thinking, provides a key to all modern Romance languages, is a model for interdisciplinary study (language, history, culture) and can be a lot of fun." -- Michael C. Behnke, Vice President of Admissions, University of Chicago
"This year, I was particularly impressed by a student with average test scores and grades who had taken Latin throughout middle and high school. We ended up offering the student admission, and I think it is fair to say that it was his commitment to Latin that tipped the scales." -- Andrea Thomas, Assistant Dean of Admissions, Hamilton College
"Students taking Latin are typically scholarly. They pursue academic study in the purest sense, they are not simply fulfilling a requirement." -- Matthew Potts, Admissions Counselor, University of Notre Dame
"We add on extra 'weight' when we see Latin on a transcript." -- Philip Ballinger, Dean of Admissions, Gonzaga University
Latin is a comprehensive class that prepares students to read and write in the language as well as learn and demonstrate their knowledge of ancient Roman culture, history, and literature.
