Hello everyone, I've applied to at least 14 D.O. schools. I didn't really take into account the secondary fees. What is the average fee for most D.O. school applications? Thanks!

I think most of them were like $50, but some were over $100 also.

On the whole they are cheaper than MD but still pricey.

Your IS D.O. schools are mostly likely around $50. Most private D.O. programs are around $80. I haven't seen a $100+ D.O. secondary application fee yet.

Once you start receiving secondaries, the price will be listed for you. If you don't want to wait till then, go to the specific school's website and it should be listed there as well.
 
Do schools waive it if you got the fee assistance waiver?
Most do! You can see which ones do in the AACOM Information Book. A few of the schools that I have applied to (LECOM, UIWSOM) ask that you email them a copy of your waiver confirmation email and then they'll waive it.
