I'm planning to submit my application the first day it opens, but I have one problem. My last final for the semester is on May 11, and the professor teaching this class is notorious for taking weeks to grade exams. She did not return our first midterm until a full month after we took it. So going off of this pattern, I will probably not get my final grade for this class until mid-June. I know I'll have the rest of my grades in by early May from my other classes.
My question is: should I obtain and submit my transcripts before I get this final grade? What happens if I list this class with a preliminary grade? Will I not get verified because I'm missing one grade from my transcript? If so, can I NOT list this class, submit my transcript, get verified early, and then when the grade finally comes out, edit my verified application to include this class and send in a new transcript with the final grade?
Or is it a better option to just wait for my grade and then submit everything? In this case, the transcript will not get to AMCAS until late June.
The difference between having this class on my transcript is a 3.39 vs. 3.41 (assuming I get an A). If I can go with the first option and edit my application with an updated transcript later, schools will see my "new" GPA, right?
What is your advice here??? Thanks for the help!
EDIT: my cGPA will actually be 3.39 without the class, and 3.41 with the class.
