<p>My nephew applied to ONE college. He was a prospective Ag. Engineering Major. He lived on a farm in Iowa. He knew that he was an automatic admit to Iowa State University based on his grades and ACT score. He knew he could pay for it with what was in his college fund, and what he could earn during the summers. He wasn’t interested at all in visiting any other campus, and he didn’t want to write any application essays.</p>
<p>After a couple of semesters at ISU, he did change his major from Ag. Engineering to another Ag. Tech. degree, but he has never regretted, and never looked back.</p>
<p>If your kid is like my nephew, and he’s all but assured admission at these two universities, there is no reason to drag your kid all over the country to look at colleges.</p>
