whether its Harvard or Sally Sue School of Suckarse Writers, every school's students have its share of student that cant write for crap. or better yet, can write, but could use the help here and there. Or, are great at creative writing but couldnt do a research paper for their lives.
Its freaking undergrad, not a PHD program. And a college SHOULD supplement student writing skills versus having full on classes. Theres a difference between, "i can write a paper but would like a second set of eyes to check it out" and "i write like i speak on AIM, and rarely use commas, periods and quote marks."
I cant imagine an 18 year old's writing would be perfection upon entering college. They simply havent had the exposure to the style and the works that reflect the style. Even if you HAVE gone to the best schools growing up.
