I won't be applying until next spring/summer but I am wondering what the cost of applying to 10 schools would be?

I need to start saving so I have all bases covered....

Well aadsas will cost you about $750 alone. Plus the $50-80 secondary application fees. Not to mention the DAT, if you haven't taken it, but that runs another $320. O and one last thing, travel cost assuming you will get a handful of interviews.

But hey you have to spend money to make money.
 
This is an approximate

10 Schools:
~$1000 to AADSAS (application service)

10 Secondary Fees:
~$700 to schools (average $70 per school)

DAT:
$320 to ADA

So you're looking at $2000 on just taking the test and applying to schools.
You would also need to get some study material for the DAT, which can be pretty expensive ($300+)

Depending on how competitive you are, you're going to be paying for plane tickets and accommodations to your interviews, which isn't cheap either.
 
Start saving up man, and have a good idea of the schools you want to apply to before you start. I've wasted a lot of money because I've decided to send my scores and transcripts to several additional schools to the ones I initially paid for. But just remember, the cost of applying isn't even close to the cost of attending.
