If you submit your application before sept 1st (of any year) it is cheaper for each school. After the first it is more expensive. I dont remember the exact fees but heres an example:

 

School A: (prior to 9/1) $40

School B: (prior to 9/1) $40

 

In this ex you designated to 2 programs before 9/1... totaling 80.

 

School A: (prior to 9/1) $40

School B: (dec 12) $50

 

In this ex you designated to one program before 9/1 but then later you added another program.. totaling 90

 

 

You select the schools you want to apply to. Once you finish you app you "submit" and then it goes to CASPA for GPA calc, verification, and finally to be sent to the programs. You can always go back later and add more programs until the cycle closes in March.

 

I submitted to 8 schools in july. Then I added one school in November, so I paid more for that school than I would have if I would have done it earlier.

Right. Basically, its a $40 discount to apply before 9/1... but only if you do NOT add any more schools AFTER 9/1. If you add more schools after 9/1, you loose the discount. It's an incentive to apply early, nothing more.

Note: You only loose the discount on the schools that are designated after 9/1. If you have already applied to schools PRIOR to 9/1 they obviously have already charged you those

 

@CASPAgoddess (wasn't insulting, just making sure it was clear for the question asker!) :)

Not a problem! I guess the way I was saying it I just meant that you "lose" the savings since they end up tacking the $40 you saved before 9/1 onto the first school you designate after 9/1.
