C212135,

I just applied through their website, no resume or coverletter...

The price does not include hotel, meals or rental car. I stayed at the Comfort Suites in Grand Prairie, which was a couple blocks away before they moved. HP has a deal with them..total bill came to $730 for the two weeks. I also got a rental car so I could check out Dallas as I had never been there before, plus it makes getting to the sims and back easier...that came to another $650, somewhat offset by the boys buying me meals for shuttling them around, but if you live close enough, drive.

You pay up front and the VA reimburses you.
