how much are you paying to apply to college?</p>

<p>One hundred dollars for applications. One school was sixty dollars, another forty, and the rest were wonderful places with no application fees when you submit online.</p>

<p>For scores not much either...I only have to pay for two score reports.</p>

<p>But when you consider the overall cost, like all the AP exams and various forms of the SAT that I've taken, it's a ridiculous amount. I just paid over 500 dollars for the six AP exams I'm taking this year. I hate it.</p>

<p>I think I'm going to sell my house, my car, all my clothes, books and furniture, and then give some blood and DNA. But I think I will still come up short.</p>

4

<p>So far I've spent $75: 40 for OSU, 35 for UAlabama, and 0 for QuestBridge schools!</p>

<p>Test scores, though.... a whole lot. I'll probably end up at over 200 becuase I'm sending ACT and SAT scores everywhere (My ACT score is better than my SAT reasoning, but most of my schools want subject tests...)</p>

<p>Excluding SAT/ACT stuff, I would have spent only 64 dollars for 12 schools (plus postage). Before you freak out, my mom is working for a family of five so I got a lot of fee waivers. Also, a lot of my schools accepted scores off my transcript.</p>

<p>nothing :)</p>

<p>my mom works at the school where I applied ED so the Application Fee was waived.</p>

<p>And that usually guarantees you in too, lol.</p>

<p>So far I have paid nothing and will end up paying $30. I applied to Furman and St. John's with their free applications and I applied to Clemson, USC, and NC State with an application fee waiver from College Board. I am paying 30 for FSU because they do not accept fee waivers, but I have one left and haven't decided where to use it. I also used the fee waiver for score reports and my second SAT, I did pay for the first one though.</p>

9

<p>haha yeah........</p>

<p>It's a little unfair, but I'm pretty sure I would get in on my own merit.</p>

10

<p>A small enough fraction of what i will pay for college itself that it's irrelevant.</p>

11

<p>It was last year, about $1,000 for all tests (AP's, SAT I, II), reports, and Apps.</p>

12

<p>I don't even wanna know. 390 just out of application fees though.</p>

13

<p>Applying to 20 schools for $50(average) each + transcripts+ postage+ink and papers+ score fees=$1500?</p>

14

<p>My friend's parents discouraged her from applying to our state school until she heard back from the state's competitive university so they could save 70 bucks. (She applied anyway though.)</p>

15

<p>For application fee alone, I've spent $515 now.
Will be spending approximately $600 more.</p>

<p>Sending SAT will cost another $160.</p>

<p>And transcript postage should be around $60.
But postage will go sky high if the school uses Fedex for some colleges...one envelope is almost $20!</p>

<p>Total: $1400 = =</p>

16

<p>about 500-600 on apps, have to calculate postage on all my letters of rec/secondary school reports, SAT/ACT score reports, CSSprofile, and etc.</p>
