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!
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.
PharmCAS $140 Supplemental $75 Interview $162 Supplemental postage $0.42 PCAT score from last year $20 Total $397.42
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?
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!
Application Fee: $25.00 Transcripts: $12.00 If or when I get an interview, I will buy a suit: $100.00 My grand total: $137.00 Getting into pharmacy school: Priceless
$4403 Total so far =p 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 www.victoriasecret.com
PharmCAS: $140 Supplemental: $50 Travel to interview: $500 + $175 for unplanned overnight stay in Seattle due to stupid border lineups. Grand total: $865 for one school. Last year I spent over $3000 Getting that ever-so-important piece of paper in the mail: PRICELESS!
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...
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!
Seriously! I don't think I will regret much... just feel extremely unlucky. I hope we both get in somewhere!
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.
PharmCAS: $980 Supplemental Fees: $1130 Interviews: -Midwestern CCP: $460 -UH-Hilo: $235 -University of Mississippi: $500 -UMKC: $400 -Belmont: $450 -University of New England: $400 PCAT Oct 08: $125 + $62.50 (Cancellation) PCAT Jan 09: $125 Transcripts: $70 (I took classes at so many colleges!) Grand Total: $4937.50
$150 for one application fee $10 to overnight application to school $60 for gas to drive to and from interview $350 for 2 nights in Vegas for interview Grand Total = $570 (btw, i got in )
pharmcas plus transcripts and admission fees 2007 bout $1500 i was not too keen on getting in then pharmcas 2008/2009 $700 transcripts $32 application fees to bout 12 schools (ill average it at 80) $ pcat 3 times, each one late fee ($435 plus additional schools $60 sending my intl transcript and evaluating them $360 4 interviews travelling and hotels plus expenses $2000 TOTAL:::: $$$$$$$$ 6047
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?
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.
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
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.
PharmCAS: $380 Supplementals: $460 Transcripts: $50 Stamps: $10 Priority Mail: $20 Suit + Dry Cleaning: $200 Interviews: $880 (5 interviews) Security Deposits: $2100 Total: $4100 Acceptance to the best pharmacy school in the nation: PRICELESS
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.
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!
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!
I lucked out... applied to one school and accepted to that choice... I'd say with pcat, pharmcas and the supplemental and driving - $300
