Adding schools to my letters of rec on AMCAS?

I forgot to add a school's name to one of my letter writers on AMCAS. The professor already submitted the letter of rec and I submitted my primary back in June. I am curious if there is a way I can add the school to her letter on AMCAS post submission so I can use it for this school? Has anyone run into this problem? I don't see why it'd be an issue since I am not trying to remove a letter or hide anything I just want to be able to use it.

It would really suck if I couldn't apply to this school because of this silly mistake on my part.

Yes you can add the letter.

But if you've been complete for a while, there is no guarantee that the school will read it.

How do I add it on AMCAS? I don't see an option?

HAve you uploaded the letter to AMCAS already?

yes the letter has already been uploaded and my app is submitted. I just need to add another school to the letter and I don't see an option for that.

Go to the "schools" tab in AMCAS, click edit on the specific medical school, then scroll down and check the box of the desired letter.

The thought of asking FIVE professors to write letters of rec gives me so much anxiety
