Since I'm applying to about 30 schools, the cost for the secondaries alone kinda worries me..

I was surprised that on top of the 30 or so dollars you pay for the primary, which most don't even look at before you submit a secondary, they charge you from $65 to $130. I think I paid probably on average $90, with $100 being most common.
 
They definitely go lower than 65 (at least 50).

Based on a spreadsheet I have of the 2009-2010 MSAR data, the median cost of a secondary was $75 with an average of $67. The figures for this cycle would certainly be higher, but probably not by too much.
 
the lowest i have gotten so far is 30. highest was 130. average has been in the 65-90 range.

30 schools

.........:eek:

May I just say: you cast a wide net, my friend. Wider than most could afford.

My max is 18, and even that's going to use up most (if not all) of my savings.

I can't add much that's very constructive here, but bravo for your massive effort!
