Hello everyone!

I am applying to D.O. schools only for admission in Fall of 2018. Here are my stats thus far before I explain my question:

3.59 cGPA
3.60 sGPA
MCAT 517 (95th) - Chem/Phys 97th %, CARS 90th %, Bio/Biochem 75th%, Psych/Soc 100th%
Major-Biomedical Engineering, Minor Biology, Graduated May 2017, Gap year activities: hospital patient care tech and Kaplan MCAT instructor
-Applied to 7 D.O. schools
-4 interviews invites
-Completed 3 interviews so far (11/9, 11/16, 11/18), no admissions decisions received yet.

I took 2 online community college classes this summer, thinking that they would help raise my GPA because it is the weakest point of my application. Unfortunately, between balancing 2 jobs, family vacation with these classes my plan backfired and these are the grades I got:
Pathophysiology - B+
Pharmacology - C+

My question is, how late can I submit my academic update considering the fact that I don't want to send med schools these grades because they might negatively affect my admissions decision?
Do you think that if I get an acceptance and I send these grades in my acceptance would be rescinded?
 
Only D.O.?

You're not required to send updates during AACOMAS' update period. All that's required is your final transcript before matriculation. Just send that in the spring after you've already been accepted.

I also doubt your acceptance will be rescinded. I don't think any D.O. school has any grade cutoff as a requirement for their conditional acceptance. You just need a degree.
