1. Can you add schools to the AMCAS after submitting it, without having to go through the verification process again? I.e. if I submit June 20th, and then add schools on June 25th, will it bump be behind in line to get verified?

2. Will schools know that you added them later if you submit during the verification period? I.e. are there dates listed by each school? I don't want some schools to know I added them as an afterthought or whatever...

You can continue to add schools after you submit your AMCAS without needing to be verified again. If you've already submitted but haven't been verified, adding additional schools will not affect your place in the queue.

I don't believe it slows down your verification. You can wait until you're completely verified and add the schools if you're concerned. You don't have to be reverified if you do this, all you have to do is pay the money and click submit.

I don't know if they see the dates of AMCAS submission v. the date they were added, but I doubt it would be something they pay attention to. There are a lot more important things in the app.
