Hello!
I have a few important interviews coming up, and I managed to get As in P Chem, Biochem, and upper level Organic this semester. My science GPA was previously over 3.9 before this. Would As in those classes still be considered significant even though my GPA was already pretty high? These three classes together were pretty rigorous, and I haven't had any previous semesters quite at that level of difficulty.

I also have some more shadowing and clinical hours to report to some of the schools, so how should I bundle all this together? Is it okay to list grades without giving them a transcript? Some of the schools already know about my additional hours. For those schools should I just email an unofficial transcript to the admissions office or not even bother since this semester does not significantly change my GPA?

Thanks so much! Happy Holidays! Good luck to all!

No. They will change your GPA like 0.02. Nobody cares.

Depends on how much and if you had a good amount prior to this would-be update. The general rule is that if it adds something significant to your application, then submit it. If you had shadowing and clinical experience already, this doesn't qualify.
