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

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?

 

About 2k for 15 schools.

 

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!

 

You forgot one thing:

Making your dream come true: PRICELESS

 

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

That is not what she is asking .

 

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!

 

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

 

I spent about $500 for 3 schools.

 

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...

 

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!

 

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.

 

$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

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

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 )

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.

 

I spent less than $500 this year.

 

PharmCAS: $380
Supplementals: $460
Transcripts: $50
Stamps: $10
Priority Mail: $20

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

these threads are nearly identical.

 

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

 

A lot.

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