@hondo, you can’t remove schools from your application list, only add them. So no “swapping schools out”. Your application will be sent to your throw-away school no matter what. Choose it carefully. (If you don’t want to apply to your throw-away, just don’t complete the secondary–if you receive one–and you’ll be forever incomplete there.)

Once you receive your score, take few days to compile list of likely match schools–schools where your stats, ECs and interests are a match. Once you add your schools to your application list and pay your fees, your app will sent automatically on the next transmittal day.

The MSAR ($28 at AMCAS) will be very useful. It has all kinds of helpful data that will assist you in deciding which schools to apply to.

IIRC, you’re from CA, so you will need to apply broadly to schools outside the state. MSAR will have information about how many OOS students apply to, interview at and matriculate at every school. Some state med schools are more OOS-friendly than others.
