Refunds?

[blahwhatever]

From what I've been reading, at some point in the application process every school charges about $75-100. Now if you apply to like 30 schools, that's almost $3000. I was wondering if these schools refund that amount if you're not accepted? Or that fee is for the time that goes for them to even consider the application and there's no way to get a refund?

Yeah, you don't get refunds for app fees, only for deposits before May 15th.

No refunds for application fees, and only some schools provide deposit refunds.

the fee is for them to look at your application and decide whether to reject you or move along with the process.

Sorry, no refunds on application fees. They claim this fee is for 'processing' your application and you don't get a refund whether you found the outcome favorable or unfavorable. However, if you were accepted and you're required to pay a deposit to hold your spot, you generally can get this money back if you withdraw before May 15th.

How sweet that would be...I'd apply to all 140 some schools.

actually, 30 schools = ~$1000

Secondaries would actually be $2250-$3000 as stated by OP.

then you get to pay for travel expenses which can add up quickly if you get a lot of interviews

You'll get those refunds the same day the state gives you back your money for all your purchased lottery tickets that amounted to naught.

lol, I applied to only 14 schools and I spent way more than that.

30 schools will run you almost 4G's total after you count primary plus secondaries.

I read in another thread that Jefferson Medical is supposed to return the full amount of your secondary app fee if they never send you a notification of whether you're rejected, accepted, waitlisted whatever. I've heard that they are notorious for not giving some rejected applicants a response so I'm not surprised that they didn't have the common courtesy to send me even a dispassionate mass list email rejection. I know that my application was complete because they sent me notification.

Does anyone know if the refund from Jefferson is real or just a myth?

After checking, I too never got any kind of notification from them. Not even a rejection. How do we go about getting our refund, anyone?
