How does that compare to the normal undergrad registration fees?
Extension definitely costs more and gives you less. In theory, it's equivalent to out-of-state tuition, and you get no student services. I'm not sure if I'm actually going to register.. I don't think I can afford it, and I don't really mind not getting credit.
Also - what's a good way to formulate a statement of purpose for applications?
I'm not really sure.. I'm still not satisfied with mine, and it's gone through a major revision for each school I've applied to. I have some good links, though, which I'll post sometime. It's hard, because all the things that come to mind first (like, "Since the age of X, I've wanted to be Y") are considered inane.
