I put the wrong county in my application by accident and my primary application has been sent to medical schools already.

I worry because on a secondary it says my area of the state is underserved which it definitely is not. What should I do? I put my correct address and everything else though.

After submission, you are allowed to change Contact Information, including Permanent and Preferred Mailing Addresses.

Call AMCAS and ask if you are allowed to change the County, as well. (Logically, you should be).

If allowed, you must 1) click the Resubmit Application button and 2) recertify your application each
time you make an allowable change after your initial submission.

Oh okay phew that was easy. And I just realized I needed to anyway because I moved last weekend.

So the application updates and my address is automatically updated at the schools I applied to?

Yes.

For the Secondary you already received, that stated you're from an underserved county, does it have an essay prompt that would allow you to notify them of the correction?
