Don't forget about about admissions deposits for any acceptances! Some schools have a primary and secondary deposit, and others just have one and they are super variable in cost.

I know Arkansas had me do the CASPR test! I think pacific does too but I can’t remember for sure.
Pacific does. Also another thing I forgot to mention is that WVSOM only makes you pay a secondary deposit when an interview is offered to you, which is pretty cool

Casper was optional for DMU last cycle... not sure if they changed it to required. It was only required at Touro-NY and LUCOM

Its also a $10 fee to take the test but I don't think you pay per school (correct me if I'm wrong on that but I think that's correct). I believe its just a single payment no matter how many schools you send it to
