Okay, so not counting interview costs...how much did all of you spend on primaries/secondaries? I just tallied it all up and it was $2700! Freaked me out...but I guess that's what 25 schools cost.
Mine was about $1000 for nine schools (that's all I could afford). I totaled another $600 for travel costs (for only plane fares and gas). I think I got lucky because 2 are in town, so there's no cost there. 2 I decided to take the 4 hour drives to instead of flying, so I only had to pay for gas. Staying with hosts or students that you know at the schools helps out a lot too.
