AACOMAS timeline question..

So I was planning on submitting my primary app on June 1st, but I'm taking 2 online english courses starting in the end of June and will be done the first one by mid July probably and other one mid-august.

However, my MCAT is scheduled for June 21st so I won't have my scores till mid July.
I know that AACOMAS takes 5 weeks or so to process the primary apps meaning file review would begin in the first week of July.

Anyway my question is, because my online courses would be done with another institution (so different transcript), will that 5 week period apply all over again so that schools won't see them until August-September? Or would my online course grades be updated relatively quickly?

OP, this is the exact question I have.

The additional classes added after your primary is already verified, will be relatively quick. They update and release every week.

Best to not apply to top choices and leave it until the updates are made? So apply to a school I wouldn't really attend or want to, wait till updates are out (near mcat score release) then apply to all top choices?

perfect thanks. and just so i dont have to make a new thread... how long is the amcas processing time? with amcas... there isn't any "bottom choice" MD schools, so it would have to be all at once. wondering when a july 21st mcat release would be processed.
