Engineers, scientists, mathematicians, economists, and medical researchers all need to know how to express themselves well in writing. I can’t think of any top science or engineering program in the country that does not emphasize this.

If you son wants to avoid applying to MIT to avoid having to write in undergraduate classes, he will also have to avoid applying to any of the other top colleges and universities, because they all require writing. So he may as well apply to MIT.
