Adding Schools after submitting AADSAS application?

I have a few questions! I am planning to submit my application this week with only one school on my list. I am doing this because i do not take my DAT until August 5th and did not want to spend over $1000 if i do not get a competitive score. SO.

1.) Is it possible to submit this week to one school, then the day after my DAT go and add 8 or 9 other schools i want to apply to?
2.) Will it take 4-6 weeks to verify when i add those additional schools or is that a one time thing?
3.) Is there a *late* fee to adding schools once you have submitted (i.e. will i have to pay a $90 late fee + the fee aadsas already requires $150 per school typically?

Sorry for the burst of questions and thank y'all!!!!

1. Yeah
2. No - it won't take time to verify your GPAs for those schools since it's a one time thing (that you're getting out of the way by submitting to one school rn) BUT it will take a few weeks for your DAT scores to become official, so no school will review your application/consider it complete until those are in.
3. No

Thank you!! If one of the schools has a deadline for September 1st do you think my DAT will be verified in time?

Maybe, maybe not. Depends on how fast ADA/AADSAS are. I took my DAT August 9th 2017 and it was verified on August 23rd I think (so 2 weeks), but it could take 2-4 weeks. Maybe only add that school after you know your DAT is official?

fax/email your preliminary DAT scores to the schools once you finish the DAT and submit your applications
some schools may consider you with your unofficial scores

I think it's not a good idea to apply to one school and then wait until you finish the DAT. I'd say apply to all the schools ASAP and then focus 100% on the DAT.
