Can I submit AMCAS and then add schools later? - What are the pros and cons?

[Gauss44]

Can I submit my AMCAS application immediately, and then add schools as I decide which ones I would like to apply to? Will I end up back at the back of the line every time I add a school, or how does that work?

(I am considering just adding one school here, and another in a couple days, and maybe just keep adding schools all summer long... The ones I definitely want first, and then as I research other schools, just add them as I go.)

once your application has been verified by AMCAS, future schools added will be transmitted in one business day.

That's fantastic!

Adding more schools doesn't put you further back in the verification queue.

No school will get a verified application until the end of June, when the first transmission of verified applications begins.

Each time you aded schools, you recertify the application, and of course, pay more fees.
