How much did applying to grad programs cost you?

$185 GRE

$355 application (4 universities)

=540

 

One of my universities gives out free transcripts, and the other one allows for 5 free ones. I didn't have to pay for additional GRE reports, so that was all. I really couldn't have afforded to pay more than that!

Oh jeez...I don't even want to sum it up. I applied to 13 schools, took the regular GRE once, and my subject GRE exam twice. Add sending scores...transcripts...good thing most of my applications did not need physical transcripts.

GRE: $185 x 2 - $370

Test rescheduling: $50 x 2 - $100

Test prep: $ 400

App fees: $70

Total: $ 940 

Hadn't calculated it before. Applying to grad school is expensive! And all of this to apply to ONE university. 

 

Same here! One university. I'm so anxious.

$350 in application fees

$200 for the GRE

$800 in GRE Prep

$25 for an extra GRE score to be sent to a school I got rejected from

 

 

So a whopping $1,375 that I had no help in paying for (yay financial responsibility...not). That's over a single paycheck for me sadly :/

And if I don't get in this year, that's just a ton of money I might as well have thrown into a bonfire :(

11 applications avg $75

Gre $200

Gre extra scores $25 x 7

Gre prep $500

Official Transcripts School 1 $20 x 7

Official Transcripts School 2 $12 x 7

Unofficial transcripts weren't accepted for some apps

I'm sure there is something I'm forgetting, but approximate total is $1924.. so $2000 give or take $100
