I just got my grades from summer second session, and the stupid AADSAS people say you have to wait until November(or mid-December!!, every body says a different thing!) and then update them during the "Academic Update" period.
Should I just go ahead and send the updated transcript to my designated dental schools, or wait until December?

Thanks
 
if you think it will make a difference like you took upper level classes and did well then send it but if you GPA only goes up like .05 or something then it's prob just best to wait
 
Some people said they sent transcripts in last year after summer grades came out and AADSAS went a head and updated their records and sent revisions out to schools.

I have tried already this cycle. AADSAS has had my new transcript for a little over three weeks now (they posted when they received it). However they have yet to do anything with it.

It has been a year of me pulling 4.0’s to slowly climb out of the “under 3.0 club”, so an update would help me tremendously. Have both my finger crossed that AADSAS will do something soon and not wait till Nov/Dec.

My advice would be to call schools and ask if you can fax over a current transcript. Some schools have told me to do this.
