      they don't need the $50 I guess ....... more like deterring frivolous application

      $50 x 1000 applicants = $50,000, 2000 applicants = $100,000. That's really quite a substantial amount!

        :yikes: The application fee is $50 each right?

        I think most schools charge $50. Good $$ making opportunity hor???

        the tests like GAT cost money to run

        last time they used CSI to run the GAT and students pay directly to CSI and the result was shared with the DSA schools the students applied too.

        these days the DSA schools try to differentiate themselves from one another by running their own GAT test or its equivalent

          still peanuts compared with the millions$ in running an IP school

              that is why it is not wise to apply for more than 2 or 3 DSA schools


              apply only for the die-to-get-in schools

                        :lol: And will probably increase in number over the years as more and more try out for DSA.
