I would expect to see a writing center at an engineering school but an Ivy?
I went to two of the writing centers you linked to so the counselors could look at my honors and masters' theses. Basically, I was so sick of reading them by the time they were due that I wanted another set of eyes on them. Also, I wanted to make sure I had Chicago Style down, since most of my papers in college were MLA; both theses had to be Chicago Style. It worked out really well, since both have been published since I graduated and it cut down on the amount of editing I had to do in order to send them to the journals.

A writing center is not the same thing as a remedial class.
