We recently received the following question at College Grazing--

In an informal poll of College Grazing’s Twitter followers, we asked the question—what was your biggest worry or concern when you first left for college?

I am currently writing my application essays.  It is very difficult.  One thing that makes it so hard is I really don't know who will be reading it.  I know that it goes to the college admission office, but what happens then?  I get the feeling that there is a set of dangerous looking people there who are just waiting to criticize what I have written.  Has anyone ever seen how these "secret" admission committees really work?
