Parent seeking help

<p>Wedgedrive, I’m familiar with a number of those schools and, as liberal arts schools, they are generally reading and writing intensive. She scored in the high 700s in the writing section and has trouble with writing? Hmmm… Is her problem organizing her thoughts? Is it the physical process of writing or something else? And does she just need extra time? </p>

<p>I suspect her biggest problem will be on tests because most schools will have some sort of ‘writing center’ that she can use for papers and take-home written work. I would call (no need to give your name) and find out. I know that when we visited UVA, there was a table set up at the library with several writing assistants. Students could just take their papers over and ask for help. </p>

<p>By the way, if writing is difficult for her, is she likely to get through Bates’ required thesis? That may be something to consider in a few weeks.</p>
