<p>I'm applying to about 10 schools (to be on the safe side) - some people are applying to 3 and some people are applying to 15..</p>

<p>If one school costs $60 (US) for application, 10 schools would cost like $600 -right? and that's in US dollars too.. Quite expensive when I know I'm not going to get into half of the schools..</p>
