Hi all,

Quick question. After you fill out and apply through AACOMAS if you decide you want to apply to other schools can you add them as long as you're willing to pay?

Yes. You'll be asked to pay another ~$15 or so for each school added.

Is it $15/school if you add them soon enough before verification and initial mailing?

I added twice after verification and initial mailing. First time I added, 2 schools cost me about $90. Second time, 3 schools cost me about $125
 
Well here is what it says in the AACOMAS General Instructions:

"If you want to apply to additional colleges after your initial application has entered AACOMAS processing, you may simply log into your online application, select your colleges of choice in the Designation section, and e-submit again using your preferred payment method.

The fee for applying to additional colleges is:

$50.00 for the first additional school
$90.00 for two additional schools
$125.00 for three additional schools
$150.00 for four additional schools
$175.00 for five additional schools
$200.00 for six additional schools
And $30.00 for each subsequent school beyond six.
If you were granted an AACOMAS Fee Waiver, you must pay the amount on the Fee Schedule listed on the College Designation Form (CDF) beginning with your fourth designation.

Cool, somehow I missed that page in the instructions until after you pointed it out.(Then of course I could find it, isn't it always that way?) Still seems like you're a little better off applying to all the schools you are interested in and not adding later.(Little bit cheaper but still cheaper that AMCAS.) Thanks for the info
