Nickel and Dimed

Maybe I should start a Kickstarter fund entitled "Help Mindy Pay for the Grad School Admissions Process" because GODDAMN I am being nickel and dimed to death!


  • $35 for the damn ETS GRE study guide (which, btw, is a total fucking scam)
  • $175 for the actual test
  • $10 for EACH copy of official transcripts. (And screw you Indiana for requiring TWO copies!)
  • $25 for each additional copy of my GRE score sent to all the schools I didn't know I maybe wanted to attend
AND
  • $55-$75 PER SCHOOL JUST TO APPLY
Add to that the countless cups of Dawson's coffee I have consumed, and I have already spent a small fortune. I guess it's a good thang I'm used to being poor. Makes it that much easier to swallow an out-of-state grad school price tag...
