Which address?

best bet is to contact the schools directly and let them know. Many schools show status changes online and via email as well. Keep that in mind. I live close enough to home that I will just send my stuff to my parents residence, so if that is an option for you you may want to consider that.

 

i was in the same position. once i moved back to school, i just updated my amcas preferred address (is that a choice?) to school. i didn't have to contact a single school. only 1 or 2 things got sent back home, but my parents love me enough to have sent them down to me. really, not that much comes via snail mail. at least not from the schools to which i applied.

 

If your parents are pretty on top of things and know a little about the process, then your better off just sticking with your home address so you know nothing will get lost in translation. My parents opened all my mail and my mom just scanned anything important and emailed it to me, or just read it to me over the phone.

I never had any issues.

 

all you have to do is file 2 temporary change of address forms at the post office or online at www.usps.com (although it will cost $2 online): 1 for your summer program and 1 for your school.

when you file a change of address, the form asks you to put the date that the change of address will take place but it also gives you the option of providing an ending date if the move is temporary.

so, just file one under your summer program address with the start and end dates of the program and file another for school, with the date you will go to school and when you will come back home, then just give all the schools your permenant address
