Can You Submit Aacomas and Add Continuous Education Course After

• #4

I was told it was best to submit my primary application to be verified and apply to one school and then when I get my mcat score (taking May 24) I can add it and add other schools. So should I not include any standardized tests or should I indicate that I will be taking it May 24?

Question to whoever can answer. I started working at a very young age, I've written about it in my PS. Would I list within the work/activities section as well since I've always had a job? General consensus around here is to list things after high school.

Any negatives putting it in anyways?

This is exactly what I'm doing! We even have the same MCAT date I indicated on my application that I will be taking the exam on the 24th.

That's what I ended up doing as well. Good luck!!

Would it be okay to put the physicians address, in the letter of evaluation, as the office address? I don't assume that some of the Docs I work with would want to give there home address.

Anyone know if AACOMAS offers fee assistance like AAMCAS does? I feel like I have read that they do not, but just figured I would ask since I am planning to apply to 21 schools. LOL.

I'm pretty sure they do! I would check the AACOMAS website for that information.

So im guessing there are no negatives.

I have been trying to enter my transcript entry into the application. It lets me add a semester at first, I put in my courses and grades. However, I am not able to add another semester nor am able to save my changes. Not being able to save my changes, does not let me proceed with the application. I am so stuck! I seem to have entered everything properly! I am trying to add classes semester by semester as it tells you to, but it won't let me do anything! Is this a glitch or did I do something wrong?

I know this has been answered before in different forums but want to verify. I'm a reapplicant and am waiting to see if LOR writers will update their letters and am still waiting to confirm with a DO (and hence don't feel 100% certain which 6 I will upload and use) so don't have any eval requests created yet. Can I submit for verification, and as LOR writers confirm with me can I add them?

Edit: I clicked "I'm not adding any Evaluation Requests" and it gives me an opportunity to create new ones after the fact so I'm assuming it's fine?

Not sure but I would like to know as well.

Thanks PapaGuava.

One more question - I want my application to be considered in the first initial batch that they review. How can I ensure I'll be in this initial batch? I already have my MCAT score and I am asking my school to mail out official transcripts to AACOMAS tomorrow. If I submit my application around maybe June 7th or so, would I still be good to be in the initial batch of applications considered? Or when should I submit my application?

No problem! Yes you will be fine if you submit the primary application on June 7th. I think the biggest thing is just completing your secondary applications for schools in a timely manner, but not rushing, otherwise it will suffer in quality. Granted, schools can stratify applications based on different criteria rather than who was completed first so don't always believe you will hear back immediately after submitting your secondary application.

When you're entering prerequisites into aacomas, do you need to put just the bare minimum to show you met the requirement or should you list all additional course work for the subject? Haven't been able to find a solid answer for this one.

Certain schools will say you can include all other Biology courses, chemistry courses etc, which I'm sure you have seen but if you select more courses than what was asked they would just filter them out. You can do it if it makes you feel comfortable (I did for some schools on accident in the beginning during my cycle) and it didn't cause any issues. Otherwise just follow the instructions for what was asked under each school's prerequisites.
