<p>Yep,Centremom08, we are a might sprightly group!! If you would comment a little more on the writing aspect. The part about struggling caught my eye (students who didn’t write well would struggle). D’s weakest area, and it’s not weak-690 writing, is writing. Especially creative writing. She is a “just the facts,ma’am” kind of writer. I have no idea where I went wrong.
D is so right brain , it’s a little scary. </p>
<p>She also has on her “solid” list 3 schools that have a reputation for being writing intensive or at least stressing writing. Can you tell us what that might entail? I don’t think my kid would avoid a school for that reason, in fact she doesn’t perceive a problem with her prose.:eek: You commented in a PM that A’s were elusive. Does that ,in your opinion, have any connection to this writing element of Centre’s?</p>
<p>You said cost was a concern, and it would be to us ,too. If you are comfortable elaborating on how they “helped” , it might help some of us get a grip on how we might be able to afford Centre. We all know it is a private school bargain at full-price, and we are certainly gratetful for that , but even with the Centre Scholars $ it is still a little “up” for us.</p>
<p>It’s interesting to me that y’all would have considered Hendrix,also. I really like the school. D feels something amiss, probably just because it is too close to home. Can you compare and contrast, as we have visited Conway twice also. My very hastily formed impression is that Hendrix is quite a bit different than Centre politically, and socially. My D might be more Hendrix politically and she’d like the residential college aspect and the zero frats, but she’s more Centre in temperament and style. What about financially? Was Hendrix competitive?</p>
