lets deduce it. lets assume dat is already taken and transcript costs are negligible
aadsas fee + average secondary fee of 50$
275+20(75)+20(50)= $2775 for applications alone.
then you have to take into account all the interviews you get. lets say out of 20 schools you get 10 interviews. if you fly out to each interview seperatly it'll run you about 400$ for each school. this is taking into account cost of plane ticket, hotel stay, cabs, etc. so 10x400= another $4000
if your lucky and you get a bunch of interviews in the same region around the same time frame then you can reduce cost by just flying out once and just traveling from school to school for about a week knocking interviews out one by one. you could potentially save thousands if your able to do this.
so in summary the most it could cost you is about $7000, but if you manage to budget it right it might just only cost about $5000
im thinking of applying to 20 schools this round. but idk, if i go through 6 or 7 interviews and feel they went really well i might reschedule some interviews for post-december. that way if i get in on dec 1st i can just cancel all subsequent interviews.
