Hi
How did all the R1 applicants from the US pay the application fee in pounds. I mean how do you convert it(the exact rate) and do they accept US credit cards. Did your credit card charge any extra fees for paying in pounds. I heard that credit cards charge for outside the US transactions. Did anyone use CHASE or AMEX specifically? Please answer.
Thanks
You can pay the application fees (and even tuition!) by wire transfer or credit card, but using the card is easiest - just pay as you usually would on a website. Not sure if LBS takes Amex, but they do take US Visas/Mastercards. Generally, US card issuers will charge a 1 to 5% fee for foreign exchange transactions - check with your bank for the exact amount.
