Difficulty Paying for the Application Process

If you total the amount of money one spends on taking the admissions tests, the application fees (central and school), and all the expenses with interview clothing, travel, and lodging, one can reasonably spend at least $1000 to $3000 over the next two years. A test prep course can add an additional $500-1500.

It is very important that juniors and seniors begin to prepare for the expenses involved with the entire application process. The costs will vary by individual circumstance, but this page gives you an idea of how much it will cost you.

To be eligible, you and your family must qualify as "low income." Usually this means that you and your family's household incomes are not larger than twice the federal poverty level. If you have questions, contact the specific service for eligibility.

You should also see if you are eligible for tuition reduction schemes with the test prep companies.

Please read the appropriate program information and apply by the proper deadline.
