Anyone else poor and applying to vet schools?

Rant warning*
I’m applying to schools this cycle and it’s just so frustrating to be hit with fees at every turn. It’s $241 for your first school +$132 for each additional + fees from the schools themselves + fees for tests + $80 if you don’t want to hand enter every single class you’ve ever taken. It feels like every page I open on this application just says “you owe us 70$”. You can apply for a fee waiver but of course then you need to turn your application in immediately and there’s only a limited number so you have to be early. Bc of course as a poor person working their way through college I just have TONS of spare time to work on this application all year. Not to mention going against applicants who are 3rd gen drs. with personalized coaches helping their application, while I got my word doc and the free writing center lol. I’m not surprised, I knew that higher education was never supposed to be for the lower class, it’s just frustrating (we stay up regardless 💪). Anyone feel me on this?
