See my previous reply 4 posts above. Note also that if several people want the same TLD (as is bound to happen for the more obbious ones), an auction process is started to decide who gets it (once they pass the initial screening phase). Those who don't win the auction only get a (very) partial refund of their application fee (too lazy to check the exact amount right now, but it's something like $165K IIRC).
