I am a second time applicant as I applied last session and last session I made a mistake of typing that I started a school in December 2010 instead of the correct date which was January 2011 on PTCAS. Is this a big problem? because it doesn't seem like I can change it even though the update option allows you to go in and look at the edit option but there is no way to save the change and I understand for entering new courses one has to create the school again even if it is already on the list and enter the new courses under that. But all I am trying to do is correct my date of attendance which started January 2011 and not December 2010 which I mistakenly typed. Is there any way?, if not is it a big issue? I assume I'm not the first person to make a typo on PTCAS.

BEST BET is to call and speak w/ the PTCAS tech / rep. Some things they can change on their end and it shows up quickly, other corrections have to wait for you to do AU, others they can change but it doesn't SHOW UP until AU. I made a mistake last cycle w/ entering a psych class. The change didn't post till after Early Decision, so it messed up my GPA for that purpose.

To my understanding of your situation, you may not be able to change any information on a school when there are classes saved under the school. LitlWarrior08 is correct, you should call PTCAS.
