Hey guys. I am stuck in sort of a rut. I've called and emailed aacomas many times, only to leave countless emails and phone messages. I need some help, I only applied to six DO schools and have submitted my application to aacomas. It hasn't been verified yet, but could I add more schools to the application and not lose my spot in the verification waiting list? :scared: I know that there's a difference in charge, but I don't want to add if I would lose my spot. I've already waited 4.5 weeks. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am no expert but, last year when I applied I had the same sort of problem. I added a few schools without any problems. My applications were recieved and just updated as the information was made available. I believe by updating electronically it will just add those schools to your list and send out your information as it is made available. You should have no problems. But, like I said I'm no expert. Good Luck!!

Thanks 307Doc, for your response. aacomas has been anything but helpful in returning phone messages and emails. The last thing I want is to be placed at the end of the line again...😱
 
What if you've already been verified and your AACOMAS has been released? Does it take an additional 4-5 weeks to get your application sent out to the schools you add on AACOMAS? I'm thinking about adding one more but it's not going to be worth it if I have to wait that long.

I added one school and it took them around 12 days to get it out. So less than two weeks.
