[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is pissing me off in all of this is once again the middle class gets screwed.  Lower income get waivers and the rich can afford it.

Applications, sending in test scores, and ironically having to pay for FAFSA and CSS submissions puts each college at about $100 each to apply to.

The irony of trying to save for college and [b]spending $1000 to submit 10 applications[/b].  Sick of this bullshit.

I can understand paying for the app when you mailed it.  You were paying someone to retrieve, place it, put it in the computer, and also read over it and send it to the right college.  Common App should cost $30 max.  Sending test scores should be a one time cost.  Just money grabbing.  [/quote]

I wish was only $1000
We spend to apply for 11 colleges:
SAT/ACT/APs/PREP courses and fees $7343
Trips to visit colleges $5487
Applications fees $922
Misc                    $230
Pretty sure I am forgetting something.

My DS applied to TA&M,UMDCP, Duke,ND,Vandi, Harvard,Prince,Yale,Brown,MIT,CM.

That’s an ambitious list. Good luck to your kid. He can’t go wrong with any of these institutions [/quote]
