Hi Dr79, I know exactly what you are feeling,its hard to come up with so much money.But from what I gather from my friends is that its worth applying to as many programs as you can,it just improves your chances of getting a good many of interviews and therefore better choice for where you wanna go.Plus I guess we have to spend once like this and it is still worth it.smiling face

thanx ria for reply...

yes u r rite..its investment for once....but still how many places u shud apply to...like 10,15,20 or more than that??????

I did 50, which in retropsect was way overkill. But it depends on how competitive you are, and what area of the country you are looking ... and how much you know about the programs to begin with.
