$$

everyone knows that going to grad school costs money, but i didn't even think about some of the random costs that go into just APPLYING for grad schools:

• application fees
• official transcript request fees
• mailing/postage costs
• airline flights for potential interview weekends
• hotel costs for potential interview weekends
• & the munchies you eat while you work on your applications at coffee shops or something :)

... it's all worth the investment though!
