I spent just over $500 for the "honor" of applying to different grad schools. It's a joke really

Wait, do colleges/universities refund you if they reject your application?

It's pretty shitty, but at the same time I get why. Beyond being a windfall, it's the best way to weed out people that aren't serious so they don't add a bunch of paperwork for nothing.

Someone has to file them, and they aren't working for free. If they were to pay you, everyone would apply to every single college in existence.

Hmm I wonder if someone could pay them with all that tuition money they charge or maybe all the profits from textbooks
