<p>(Sorry for the grammatically-poor headline which CC won't let me edit!) I'm in Pennsylvania, and I'm getting ready to apply to several state colleges for safeties. Since none of these schools are at the top of my list, it's not my priority right now to be visiting them. My plan is to apply to several state schools, and then visit them after getting accepted, if my private school options are too costly. My question is, do you pay for each state school you apply to, or is a one-time fee for all of them (since they use the Common App.)? If there's an extra cost to each, then perhaps I'll be a bit more discerning and only apply to a couple.</p>
<p>There are costs for each school, to pay them for processing your application.</p>
