I am graduating with my undergrad degree this may and I am in a 5 year BA/MA program. Should I apply after my master grades are out or should I apply before the masters starts?

It doesn't matter.
An early, well written application is better, though.

Disregard. Missed you timeline

gyygyn, thanks for the reply.

Here is the situation I am in right now. I F%$* my freshman year(sci-gap of 2.8.). THis brings my sci gpa to like a 3.5 for undergrad. However, disregarding my freshman year grades, I have a 3.65 Sci gpa and a 4.0 my last few years. I thought adding high masters grades to my app would help. You still think no? My state med school has an average sci-gpa of 3.55. What should I do?

Master's grades are not averaged into your undergrad gpa. These grades are not considered evidence of academic strength at MD schools. Everyone is expected to get A's.

What do I do? Focus on the mcat?

That would be a good idea (along with all the other important aspects of the application).
