I came out pretty good, I think. 9 schools.
$835 AADSAS fees
$545 secondary fees
$915.09 travel*
$75.92 transcripts, postage, ADEA book
$2,371.01
*Travel is all air, hotel, gas, food. It was for 1 OOS overnight drive and 3 OOS overnight flights. Gas for 2 in-state not included (~$20 max). Had 1 free RT flight (AZ to PA with less than 2 weeks notice...so I saved a lot there). Shared car and hotel for 2 OOS interviews. Complained about one flight and got a free one-way voucher I used on another interview. It wasn't my intention, but I gladly took it. Did a buddy pass/stand-by thing for another flight (both ways). Sketchy move for an interview, but it was my 6th so no huge loss if I didn't get there. My luck was saving ~$1,000 in flights by only having to pay for a 1-way out of the 3 RTs.
Just to be more stupid about this, add DAT prep/fee and some notary & postage for WICHE and I'm at $3,082.24 for the whole process...and then there's the tuition for 56 credits of post-bacc pre-reqs. Don't want to see that.
