<p>mdapplicants.com is something fun to look at but I wouldn't really try to draw any conclusions form the profiles on there.</p>
<p>WOW! Harvard really is "fuzzy". Seems like the person's URM status and community service are what made up for their GPA and MCAT.</p>
<p>He'd have to describe his "community outreach" more for us to have a better idea. But yes, you see what I mean.</p>
<p>my goodness, how many med schools does the average person apply to and how much does it cost????? Even if it were 100$ per school...the number of schools other people apply to...thats a years tuition.</p>
<p>The average applicant applies to 12.3 medical schools.

<p>The primary application costs $130 plus $30 for each school you apply to.</p>
<p>Any school to which you send a secondary will cost anywhere from $60-$110. In my experience, it's usually around $75-$90.</p>
<p>These can usually be waived if you can demonstrate financial hardship.</p>
<p>Interviews involve travel -- often flying and hotel rooms. The costs can be reduced by staying with student hosts, etc. These are self-funded and I do not know of any sources of funding.</p>
