So I started an application with UMD and there are two parts to it. After part 1, I have to agree upon paying the application fee before I can even see what's on part 2, which is where all the things like LOR, Essays, and Transcript. Part 1 just required simple information such as name and address. Anyways, I started part 1, but decided not to apply and now I have to pay the fee even though I didn't submit a full application. I just think it's ridiculous that I have to agree to pay before I can even see what's on the application. I was wondering if this process is normal for other schools. Thanks!
EDIT: The title should be: "Having to Pay Fee before starting Application"
