Hi,

I searched the official AMCAS 2011 thread, but was unable to find anything definitive.

I know certain things like personal statement cannot be changed or edited once submitted, but I would have to guess others can be.

For instance, after I submit, if I decide to submit to an additional school, there should be some way I can do that right?

Also, I am awaiting a regrade of a final project since there is a chance I will increase my letter grade in that class by at least 2 half letters after submission, but for reasons I won't go into I cannot submit until the Fall Semester. Will AMCAS accept an updated transcript?

Thanks!

You can submit additional schools and additional LORs. You can also make changes to things like contact information.

You can not submit any updated transcripts to AMCAS. But you can update individual schools directly of an improved grade by email or written letter.

You can update LORs, demographic information, and the schools to which you are applying.
