Notifying schools about Aug MCAT

[Mistress S]

I just submitted AMCAS 7/23 and am still waiting for verification. On the app, I marked that I was not planning to retake the Aug MCAT (took it last Aug and scored a 29, unfortunately with a 7 in PS), because I wasn't sure if I would. If my practice test scores hold up though, I likely will be retaking. So, how should I let schools know about this? I am thinking about attaching a note to my secondaries (or writing it in, for secondaries that give you space for this), and e-mailing the schools that pre-screen as soon as I decide for sure if I am retaking so they can take that into consideration. Should I also call to make sure this gets in my file? It seems like a pretty big deal (I wouldn't want to get rejected somewhere because of this), but I don't want to be annoying. Thanks.

Most secondaries do ask if you're going to take the August MCAT.
