how much money did you spend this season for match on an average?

too much money lol, from application fees to interview expenses (which adds up quickly!). Not complaining though, you gotta pay to play!

If you want to get and estimated amount. Eras: between 1000 and 2000(IMG),each interview: airplanes tickets between 200 to 700 domestic, bus tickets 30 to 60, taxi-rented car 80-340, hotel 120-180 per night ( if you are lucky the hospital pays for one night) meals and others probably 20 to 40 per day. It is a guesstimate do the math. Happy 2014!

$10,000 is a relatively good investment for a great medical career practicing medicine at a very high level and making a decent living too.

I spent just about $5000 till I got Pre-matched. That includes all the application fees, gas, and hotel costs.
