<p>My son also studied aeronautical engineering and only wanted to apply to one school. He had visited and loved it and also had stats high enough to ensure admission (communicated during an appointment with admissions while on campus). We also knew we could afford the school based on anticipated merit aid offered during that admissions visit. Fortunately the school had rolling admissions and he knew he was accepted in October of his senior year.</p>
<p>We (the parents) forced him to submit two more applications, one to the parents’ alma mater. He was not interested in either school and would not have attended if accepted. Those extra applications were definitely a waste of time and money and he told us that was the case in advance.</p>
<p>If you like Mississippi State and are sure you will be accepted then there is no reason to continue the college application process.</p>
