How much did applying to grad programs cost you?

[Cking86]

I applied to 12 programs. Oy. I just closed my eyes and clicked "send". Paying no attention to my debit/credit card bill. Welp.

[seeingeyeduck]

Approx $225 for 3 schools.

[Socrates1]

Well over a thousand dollars. I haven't added it up because I know I'll just feel nauseated by the damage to my savings.

$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.

GRE - 185

TOEFL - 190

School App Fees (4 schools) - 300

Transcripts - 60

735 USD (which converts to 31605 pesos - close to a month's salary! :s

This. So much this.

[catsandscarves]

about $2000 to apply to 17 schools with all the GRE scores/transcripts/fees. I don't know the exact amount for the same reason as above.. I didn't total it ha

[CocoChanell_no5]

$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

[GeographyOSU]

$75 for the application fee

$20 for an MAT prep book

$85 for the MAT test itself

So about $180 bucks, which isn't bad, but

still, way pricier than the $20 I paid for my undergrad app.

[justinmcummings]

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
