Medical School Application Fee Assistance

Hello dear friends and family, 

I am finally in a position to apply to medical school this year, yay! The application systems open at the start of May. I am applying to 22 allopathic schools and 4 osteopathic schools (total 26 schools). While this may seem like a lot of schools to apply to, it is below the recommendation of applying to 28 medical schools for my metrics. 

The first round is called primary applications, which utilize a central application system to send your initial application to many medical schools (AMCAS for allopathic, AACOMAS for osteopathic). The second round comes directly from medical schools after they review your primary application and you pass their initial 'screen'. My metrics will likely pass the statistic screens placed to continue on to the secondary application. 

Here is the cost breakdown:

These numbers are based on last year's application fees. They typically increase each year but the cost difference shouldn't be too extreme. 

Unfortunately, my family and I have a very tight budget and we have been unable to save for this exorbitant expense. Medical school applications are quite expensive and many students face financial challenges when trying to apply to the appropriate amount of schools. I applied for the AAMC fee waiver, but I did not qualify per their eligibility metrics.

I am hoping that by asking for small contributions from my close family and friends I will be able to apply sufficiently to gain admittance this year. 

Any contribution will help! Thank you so much for helping me on my journey to a career in medicine. 


Sincerely, 

Quinn
