List of schools that do NOT accept update letters

[house vs god]

I thought it would be helpful to post a list of schools that that do not accept update letters or extra information unless the candidate has been interviewed or is waitlisted. It would have saved me a lot of time if I knew this beforehand. Please post if you know of any others!

Albany (only accepts updates about grades)

It would be useful to know if these schools' secondaries include update sections, especially for grades. Some of us in quarter system have to decide whether to wait for spring grades or not.

February is next week; interviews are going to be over within the next few weeks/days. This list would be more productive to see which schools do not accept update letters post-interview.

Does this include MCAT scores? I was planning on sending in my applications on June 1st but I won't have my MCAT score until the end of June

MCAT scores should be automatically reported; they don't usually count as update letter material.

I thought Yale has a section on the secondary to upload updates. Also, do any other schools belong on this list? It's update letter season.

When you say "do not accept update letters" do you mean no update letters at all, or just no update letters before they interview you (but update letters are ok after that)?
