So I'm planning to apply for Fall 2007 to 10 schools. As of now, I'm financing my budget and want to make sure I save up enough cash to apply... and up to the point of the down payment to hold my spot. Trying to becareful since I'm completely financially independent now. In the past, I made the mistake of applying w/out sufficient funds due to family reasons. Don't wanna make another move like that. I know that MD schools expect $60-$100 on secondaries, but I couldn't find that info anywhere so far for DO schools. Just need some numbers I can work with. Can someone clue me in?

Thanks!

2ndry: most of them were around $60. UMDNJ was $75.

I think it is about $50/school on the primary application.

used interfolio for LORs. ranged from free-$14(express)

I used student loans for the whole process including my $1500 deposit and 2 plane tickets.
