Hey I am a senior applying this cycle...I really need my grades from this semester to be on my transcript that is sent to AMCAS (classes here end May 15, grades are out a couple of weeks later)...therefore, when is the earliest I can make a transcript request and send it out? I want to apply as early as possible, and my goal is to send out my AMCAS by June 15th or so. Can all of this be coordinated smoothly so I can still get my application out early? Thanks!!

You cannot request the transcript before the grades are on there if you want the transcript to show those grades. AMCAS does not request your transcript, you send it to them. Therefore, presuming there is no lag between you requesting a transcript from your school and it being sent out, you should wait until your grades are in and then request the transcript.
