Can you submit more than once? YES.
In order to e-submit you can only submit to the programs you are planning to send your application to at the moment you hit the submit button. If any part of your app for another program is incomplete you should not put that program on your list of designated programs (in fact PhORCAS won't allow you to submit anything when a designated program is missing application components- you'd get an error).
When you have completed the requirements for other programs you can always go into PhORCAS, add the desired programs, and submit. At this point the button will no longer say e-submit, it will say "pay now". In this way you are able to stagger your submissions in whatever way you choose.
Can you edit your application after is has been sent? Technically YES.
There is an edit button that appears next to programs after you've submitted and by all appearances you can change components of your applications to an extent (i.e you can replace things but not delete them completely). The concern using that feature is 1- we don't know if the programs can even see the changes we make 2- if the program looks at it one day, then you change it, if they look another day and see those changes it could annoy them.
Also, remember, when you submit you agree that you will NOT make changes to your application after submission. Just something to keep in mind.
Is there a way to know the status of your application? Only for payment.
The only status I am aware of is the status of your payment to PhORCAS, which you can see under the status tab. As for the status of your application the only way you will know is through direct information from the specific program. Anyone with more info can certainly chime in on this one..
Side note: checked my transcripts and they are up. Seems like PhORCAS is working overtime.
