When you resubmit AMCAS, do schools know they were added later or not? And, is there a limit to how many times you can resubmit your AMCAS app? I'm not adding schools at the same time due to monetary reasons, but splitting it up over a few different weekends.

You're totally fine. You're really not resubmitting -- you are just adding. Schools only see what goes to them. They have no idea what other schools you applied to, or when else you might have made a submission. You can do one a day until you are done. Each school will only know that you applied to them, and only when they receive the primary. Absolutely no limit.

They will see the date and time of submission and verification as well as MCAT though so I'm sure they can infer you were complete at X date and they were a late addition. Maybe I'm incorrect that adcoms can see that information but anyways, I doubt it matters

Yeah, we'd need an adcom like @gonnif to weigh in. I'm not sure why they'd see the verification time and date. MCAT can be from anytime, so that has nothing to do with when an application is submitted, or whether a particular school is a late submission. As far as I know, the only date and time a school sees is the date and time a primary is submitted to them.

By the way, "complete" is a concept that applies to the schools, not AMCAS. AMCAS does not transmit until a primary is completed and a transcript is verified, but that is not a "complete" application anywhere, because it does not require MCAT, LORs, and, of course, secondaries.

As far as I'm aware, the pdf printout we get is what adcoms get and that has the exact times for both submission and verification at the top of page 1. My MCAT comment is that adcoms will be able to understand that with a score on X date for a primary submitted on Y date, that means the applicant submitted Z days later to their school despite a "complete" AMCAS. I am well aware of the complete definition otherwise - just a lack of a better term here

I get it, and you might be correct about verification date, if that's something schools would look at. But with scores, the date really doesn't mean anything. The score could be from July, or last January, or two years ago. None of those things mean a primary this August was submitted after any other primary this cycle. The same can't be said for a verification, since you need to submit at least one primary to enter the verification queue.
