Its well know fact that mba is a costly affair. And the whole application process is of no exception.
Gmat - $250
Toefl - $150
Extra score reports - $25 for each school.
Application costs - it varies from school to school and on an average it costs around $170 for each school.
Random list:
Duke (fuqua) - $185
Ross (Michigan) - $180
Darden (Virginia) - $190
UNC (kenan flagler) - $130
Emory - $140
Very few schools charge absolutely zilch for the application. If you are planning to apply for 6-8 schools in total, it will cost you approximately $1.6k to $1.8k. Feeling the pinch? I must admit that its nothing when compared to tution and living expenses. I excluded the amount that we spent for prep books and prep course (if you are taking one). If you are planning for school visits, then travel, hotel and other miscellaneous costs will come into picture.
