$340 1st go rod on amcas...then decided not to send 2nd to any schools that I applied to except for LSU-NO, and Shreveport( That means I wasted $200). $550 for a suit the other day. Approx $1000. Good thing I have a OK paying Job and my wife is an RN.

all in all i spent close to 10k last year.

I spent about 5k last year. Don't sweat it, it's just part of the process. It'll pay itself back in the end.

i think you should change up the ranges.. 1500 is nothing as a top end.. the top end should be like 10k..

No kidding, I'm already over $7K when you add everything up (primary, secondaries, suit, mcat, kaplan, plane tickets, hotel, etc.)

Can we write these expenses off on our taxes? they should let us do that, cause I think I will be really poor by the end of the process!!! 😱

What you spend on the process of getting in is nothing next to the cost once you start. 🙁

When all was said and done: Apps, interviews, and moving to the city where my medical school is, --->>>>>>> ~12K 👍 👎 😳

 

[abraxas20]

AMCAS---$160
Secondary---$30
Clothes---$200
Getting in ED---Priceless


Even if I include the $190 for the MCAT it was a bargain....

wow i guess i'm really behind. i think we should start another poll that will reflect the amount people have spent. what would be good options for the poll?

Probably $1500 increments with a top range of $10,500+

fer real? i think i'm gonna go to bed and pretend that there is no such thing as debt or secondary fees. 😴 everything is wonderful. life is good. someone will pay my credit card bills.

Less than $500. Just MCAT, primary, secondary, and suit.

So much for fiscal fortitude when the actual med school bill comes knocking on my door, though. 🙄
