I was wondering if Kaplan offers financial assistance to low income families? I'd like to take the online course, but I don't think I can afford it. :(

Yes, they do. Contact your local center for the appropriate forms.

So I was thinking about re-taking the Kaplan MCAT course. I took the Kaplan MCAT class in 2005 but didn't complete it due to how far I was from the classroom center, getting burnt-out, way too many homework assignments to complete, etc. Anyway, I paid all that money for it, and have the textbooks, but not any practice tests or questions. I emailed Kaplan to see if I could get a discount on retaking it, since I already paid for the prep course once, and they said alumni get a 10% discount. 10%!!! That's it?! That's still freakin expensive! Kaplan sucks.

Ah, you should've taken TPR. They let you take the course again for free.

actually if you call the center they will let you retake it for 499 dollars if it was a year from the date. I am in the same boat sort of but still 499 is still a lot of money, but I guess its worth it.

Is there a fee waiver/reduction for the Kaplan review course for those with financial need?

no. However major pre-med orgs (AED etc) usually auction off a kaplan course, or sometimes even have an app for a free kaplan course, where you write an essay.

auctions come off as a discount, while free, is free. I paid for mine in freshman year when it was only $1100 or something, and then took the course in junior year.
