Just thought you’d like to see how
much it may cost for you to apply to your health professions schools.
This is one more reason for students to make plans EARLY so you can avoid
problems about how to pay for applying! Applying to schools all over the
country is expensive but flying to remote locations such as
Our students last year applied to an average of 16.69 schools nationwide, which
is probably similar to your national pool. Two years ago I did an
estimated cost based on one student's actual costs for 15 interviews:
travel, AMCAS, secondaries, hotel/motel where rooming was unavailable,
taxis, meals, clothing. We arrived at a cost of just under $7,500. If I remember
correctly, we came up with $497 + per school. The largest cost was for
airline and rail tickets (his AMEX bill was frightening) and secondary
applications. With the cost of airline tickets now, I am sure the cost is
somewhat higher.
