I wish I hadn't added it up, but I did...roughly $2015 (before placing the enormous deposits that are due). I think this might be on the low end tho. I only applied to 5 schools, went to 4 interviews; flew to 3, drove to 1; and only had one hotel (fam and students for others). This total includes a lot of stuff tho--MCAT, ACCOMA, 2ndries, and traveling expenses.

AACOMAS: ~$450 (12 schools)
Secondaries: ~$800
Flights: ~$1600
Hotels: ~$500
Car rentals: ~$500
Suit: $300
Total: over $3,000! I'm from Alaska so traveling was incredibly expensive (and time-consuming). Freakin' ridiculous. I put it almost entirely on my credit card and am busting my arse trying to pay it off (working two jobs, eating canned soup every night, etc.). If I had a better idea of my chances, I probably would have applied to fewer schools...but it's really so hard to know ahead of time.

I was going to say 1900 for primaries (I applied to md and do), secondaries, and interviewing but I saw someone added the kaplan fee. If I add the fee for princton review and mcat thats an extra 1800 so there you go.... $3700 wow thats depressing!

$700-primaries
$1000-secondaries
$200-interviews
$400-MCAT(2x)
$700-MCAT Review
$60-suit
$150-textbooks for the class I re-took
Total=~$3200
I only went to one interview, was accepted, and withdrew from my others. This is before any deposits. It's frightening when you add it up, b/c some of it was stretched over a couple of years and I didn't realize how much it actualy cost.
