Just to be absolutely sure...

I've seen some answers to these questions here and there... but I wanted to double/triple check to make sure I understand them correctly. So if anyone could help really quickly:

1. Unlike AMCAS, summer classes should or shouldn't be grouped together with regular undergraduate program/school listing?

2. If I'm applying now, but I still have one summer class I plan to take (to fulfill a prereq), should I have the transcripts sent in now and then sent again later with the updated information? And how would I be able to record that on the AACOMAS application (maybe I'm missing it on AACOMAS, but the AMCAS application has a "Current/Future" option to check).

3. Is Interfolio really the most efficient option for managing LORs? I was turned off at learning there was a fee, so would that mean they would charge $4 (or $6) for each school I have it sent out to?

4. ...otherwise, if I manage it myself, would I just have the letter writers to send multiple copies?

5. Finally, I'm pretty sure about this answer, but again just to check: I should just group all shadowing experiences as one item and then elaborate using a description, correct?

2. You are correct that you will need to send transcripts now and then again later. Whether you submit now or wait is up to you, but generally it is considered better to submit earlier than later.

3. They raised the price to $20/year and $6 per sending. So it will be $6 for each school you send to, and you will select which letters to send to each one.

4. You could do it that way, however you'd have to get your letter writers to send a copy to every single school you applied to, which may not be the most convenient thing for them to do.

5. You can do it however you want. If one experience was particularly more significant than the others, the explanation might be longer. In general its pretty easy to group them since shadowing is usually pretty self explanatory.
