<p>I am a mom, but it sounds to me like Viterbi is letting the kids who need Writing as a Second Language in a different writing class. The test is to determine which Writing class international students need. I don’t think you should worry a second about this exam. Unless this changed, all Viterbi students have to take the Freshman writing class plus another writing class later for Engineers. Congrats that your child got accepted to Viterbi.</p>
