Hi there,

So I need some advice on the AACOMAS application. Right now i have a MCAT score and i will be primarily applying to DO schools, broadly. My current score is not that great, i am retaking it in june but wont get my results till mid july. I've heard of individuals who were in the same boat as me and applied with their current score (this was through aamc) and got their primary submitted and then their retake mcat went to the applied schools. My question is - if i was to submit my mcat (current score) to have my primary reviewed would it be wise to send it to all of the schools i plan on applying to or just one school and waiting till my retake results come? Again this is through AACOMAS I've heard of people doing it through aamc but couldn't find anyone who did it through aacomas. Advice? Thanks! (btw - expected mcat retake should hopefully be around 505 ish range)

In AACOMAS put a future date down for the MCAT then get the application verified with a school you have no intention of going to. Once you have the new MCAT score, send it and update the AACOMAS, and input your schools selections. That way if for some reason you have to retake again, you are not a reapplicant at the schools you'd really want to go to

Okay yeah that's what i figured. I knew you could do that for aamc but wasnt 100% sure about aacomas. Thanks!

But i thought once you submit your application for either aamc or aacomas then you cannot go back and change it? Or can you only update the school list?

Once you submit, I think the only things you can change are LOR stuff and the school list for both AMCAS and AACOMAS. There might be like 2 other things.

Note* Check me on this. I don't believe you can add a future MCAT date if you've already submitted.

New MCAT scores can be added.
