I'm trying to put together the initial steps of my AMCAS app as soon as I can because I won't have much time in the summer. My concern is that my spring semester grades won't be out until early June, and the app opens May 5th (according to the site). I've been reading conflicting views about sending in a transcript before spring grades are out:
1. I won't be able to submit until June anyway so just wait for my Spring grades
2. It takes a few weeks to verify transcripts, so send it now
3. If your GPA will go up, then wait (mine is going to go down from 3.87 to something lower, I'm probably going to get 2 B's)
4. The schools won't look at an updated transcript
Can anyone clarify these conflicting points? I pretty much want to know whether I should wait for spring grades or not.
