How Much Have You Spent in Application Cycle 2008-2009?

[cinnamoroll12]

I'm finally done with all of my finals today, so now I am being bored and unproductive.

So far....I've spent:

PharmCAS: $900
Supplemental Fees: $1080
Interviews:
-Midwestern CCP: $460
-UH-Hilo: $235
PCAT Oct 08: $125 + $62.50 (Cancellation)
PCAT Jan 09: $125
Transcripts: $50 (I took classes at so many colleges!)

Grand Total: $3037.50

I added up everything on Excel, and the numbers are freaking me out! I just hope I get accepted to somewhere by the end of this cycle!

 

[FresnoPharmD]

At least $1000. PharmCAS + 4 supplementals, suit, transcripts, AP scores, traveling costs, etc. And I've yet to get interview invites from 3 of the schools...hopefully the cost will rise soon.

 

[medicalCPA]

PharmCAS $140
Supplemental $75
Interview $162
Supplemental postage $0.42
PCAT score from last year $20
Total $397.42

 

[chrisraymundo]

wow thats alot..
we gotta spend all this money to achieve our dreams lol anyway GL to you when you get an acceptance it will be all worth it. mustve been a pain doing all those supp apps huh?

 

[chessdude2]

About 2k for 15 schools.

 

[ValeRx]

I've spent upwards towards 800 myself, without traveling. In retrospect, I was accepted to one of my top choices, the others were just shots in the dark that, if I didn't get in anywhere, I may have a shot there. If you have good scores and something that makes you unique you have a very good chance... no need to apply to a dozen schools. I'm sure you're fine though!

I gave my 100%... if I don't get in this year, I will probably enter a state of catatonia and eat the lint off my blanket for a month.

For the ladies: Victoria Secret has a cute suit set on sale. You can do jacket and pants or jacket and skirt. You get both for $99. You can check it out on their website

[calisoca]

~$1200--Nothing a neighborhood striptease for the married women in my community couldn't pay for.

 

[WhiteSnows]

I spent about $500 for 3 schools.

 

[Hels2007]

I am amazed at the costs people are willing to bear...

My own applying to pharmacy school didn't set me back more than $50...

 

[cinnamoroll12]

I spent about $500 for 3 schools.

I spent more than that just for Midwestern!

 

[cinnamoroll12]

I gave my 100%... if I don't get in this year, I will probably enter a state of catatonia and eat the lint off my blanket for a month.

Hopefully the both of us will get accepted to somewhere this year! Think it this way, at least we don't feel regretful for not giving our best shots. Hopefully that time will come after the holidays!

I wish you will hear good news this year.

Seriously! I don't think I will regret much... just feel extremely unlucky. I hope we both get in somewhere!

 

[avuong]

Holy crap,
I thought my 340 $ for pharmcas was a lot, but then including airfare, hotel stays (me and parent), I may soon approach your guys' levels too.
Best of luck, all.

[cinnamoroll12]

I'm glad that you get in.

Yea, I'm happy that the both of us got accepted to one school this year. If you do get accepted to a CA school, will you choose a CA school over USN?

 

[ccpharmd]

PharmCAS: $140
Supplemental Fees: $30
PCAT Aug 08: $125
PCAT Oct 08: $175 (late )
Suit: $120

Total ~$590-600 all just for one school haha but yes getting in > costs.

 

[Spock87]

I applied to 11 schools this year

PharmCAS: $540
Transcript: $10
Plane tickets: $600 to 2 interviews (ended up canceling 1 )
Hotel: $200 (ended up canceling 1...no refund)
Application fees: ~ $600 (should have applied to only 2 Got 10 interview offers, only went to 2 )
Suit: $300
PCAT: 3 times $375
Postage (priority with delivery confirmation LOL), gas, etc etc etc: $200

Total: $2825

I got in both schools I interviewed at > the crazy cost

 

[Monalyce]

Adding this up might make me cry.
PCAT class: $1300 (how much will you pay for a 99 composite? lol)
PCAT 2008: $125
PharmCAS: $260
Supplemental fees: $310
Priority mail: $20
Transcripts: $30
Travel to 4 interviews: approx. $600
Suit/shoes/drying cleaning fees/etc: $400
Total: lots.

My tip: don't apply to 15 schools if you don't think you can get into most of them, those supplemental fees add up. I only applied to 5 and saved money by forgoing the interview at my last choice school. Do get delivery confirmation when mailing those checks with supplementals.

 

[WhiteSnows]

I spent less than $500 this year.

 

[rycetrix]

PharmCAS: $380
Supplementals: $460
Transcripts: $50

Interviews: $880 (5 interviews)
Security Deposits: $2100

Total: $4100

Acceptance to the best pharmacy school in the nation: PRICELESS

 

[diastole]

Application Fee: $150
Transcripts: ~$20
PCAT: $125 (no school ever saw my scores)
Interview clothes:~$200
Interview: ~$100

Total: ~$600

Not too bad for one application and acceptance but it is going to cost me a whole heap of money to move. Owning a house in an area especially hard hit by the real estate crash stresses me out.

 

[tbsbnstar]

So jealous of those of you who didn't spend too much.
I wasn't taking any chances so I applied to 12+ schools
with 5 interviews, all of which i flew too, the total ended up between 2500 and 3000
eekkkkkkk----- tax write off? haha, hope I can find a way!

 

[missy1984]

I don't even want to tally it up I prob spent over $4000 with 6 interviews. I had to decline the last one. I ended up getting accepted to a school that only cost me a $40 train ride plus was my first choice. Ironic!

 

[TboneBoy2409]

I think I spent about 1200 to 1500 or so. I didn't really keep track, haha.

[trailrider400]

I lucked out... applied to one school and accepted to that choice... I'd say with pcat, pharmcas and the supplemental and driving - $300

 

[sakigt]

A lot.

Honestly I have no idea. I just pay as I go...what are ya gonna do?
