I heard that one app. form costs around 70 bux…
and sending AP scores, SAT Scores cost additional fees…
Around how much will it cost for a ‘full’ app. form?
and do you think they are worth it?
<p>Not all apps are $70 (though some are)</p>
<p>You can select up to 4 schools to get your scores for free when you sign up for SAT/ACT.</p>
<p>There is no reason to pay for AP scores - they only need to be sent to the school you will attend, and you'll know which one it is by the time you are taking APs in your senior year. You can designate that school as the one to receive your scores for free.</p>
<p>I would say application fees are usually in the range of 40-60 dollars. You can get a lot of relevant information on commonapp.org under "colleges and universities" - just click on the college you want. Note that some schools are waiving fees for online applications (Denison, Carleton and Rose-Hulman come to mind.)</p>
<p>SAT fees include four "free" score submissions; after that the fee is $8 a school. Scores can take up to a month to reach schools. You should plan your applications well in advance so you aren't pressured into paying rush fees.</p>
<p>If you're applying for financial aid, the PROFILE costs $18 per school to send.</p>
<p>Just check colleges' web sites to find out how much it costs to apply.</p>
<p>If your family qualifies for free lunches, many colleges will waive application fees. That's why even if one doesn't plan to eat free lunches at school, if you qualify, it's important to file the paperwork with your school. Some colleges will waive fees for other reasons. It's wise to ask the colleges directly.</p>
<p>Some colleges don't charge for applications submitted on-line. In general, applying costs from $25-$100 per college. </p>
<p>Don't let the cost of the application deter you, however. If $ is short, make sure that if you are accepted to the college, you can afford to go. Check colleges financial aid section to see if they guarantee to meet 100% of students' demonstrated financial need. Realize that "demonstrated need" means what the college decides you need after you file the paperwork the college requires. The financial aid also can include loans, sometimes very large loans.</p>
<p>Also e-mail or call college financial aid offices to get detailed info about their policies. It's wise to do this before wasting your time applying.</p>
