how much were medical school applications for you?

answers from both those who qualify for the fee waiver program and didn’t qualify would be great.

i’ve been so caught up that i haven’t really thought about the cost of application, and i’m not exactly sure how many schools i will be able to afford to apply to beyond the amount covered by the fee waiver program. are there any other assistance sources outside of the fee waiver program, or will i just have to make my school list small? i just don’t know how i’d suddenly come up with the money by then to apply to the amount of schools people usually apply to. and my MA job pays me minimum wage and i don’t work a lot of hours because of school and my lab. any advice/insight would be greatly appreciated.
