waw! more than $3000 that is a lot of money. I only spent around $600 (ADDSAS + DAT), but my I am gonna be spending like $300 on my coming interview. I guess so far, I have spent like $900.

Wow...mostly cause of flights or last minute flights?

are you guys applying with a coupon or something? how in the world do you spend less than a grand? an interview in nyc alone cost $500! AADSAS was many, many, many hundreds.

 

[DDS:)]

I spent over 5K already......!!!!!!!!!!!

well, I want a refund from some of these schools. they were a complete waste of money. I def would not have applied to Nova if I knew they're interviewing for the waitlist. what a waste of time and hope. I'm glad I didn't apply to UoP.

that and a few schools seem be content with lesser qualified students. fill up the class early with decent students and let the top candidates who apply later deal with it. [rant, rant...]

My AADSAS alone was 1300. I think DAT was 400. I have 10 interviews...which is a lot of money, too. Yay for higher chances of getting accepted, boo for expenses. 🙄

Congratz! So you have additioanl 10*$600 = 6000 to go?

Looks like the norm is $3000+. That would suck if people spent so much and didn't nail anywhere.

Utah to UNLV, Utah To Case, Utah to NOVA, Utah to AZ, Utah To OhioSt. Utah to Temple, Utah to Buffalo,
I am probably forgetting some. Columbus was like 900 alone, aadsas was 1400 about. Don't foget about kaplan and other helps.

It hurts the old savings account that is for sure.

Here's my breakdown:

1000 - Kaplan course
735 - AADSAS
170 - DAT
75 - sending DAT scores to additional 5 schools
~10 - stamps/envelopes for various things
~6 - ID photos
$10 - personal transcript
$13 - transcripts to AADSAS
$10 - transcripts to UCLA as part of secondaries
---------------------------------------------------
~$2030 SO FAR...I will have to request more transcripts later, and take care of the interviews' expenses....🙁
