I need some advice:
I'm only applying to DO and I have been rejected to some...on hold at some......deferred at one and one is specifically waiting on my fall grades to send me a secondary....but I recieved a C in genetics....my first upper level biology course since I'm an economics major. This is my first C ever! I recieved an A in a 1 credit 300 level biology course...and another A and two A's in other subjects. My new GPA will probably be a 3.67 from a 3.7
Should I update AACOMAS with a C in genetics....my first upper level biology course?
Would it be easier just to send the school waiting on my fall grades a single transcript?
With a C my science GPA would drop to a 3.36 or something like that from a 3.4?
Thoughts? Am I screwed if I don't send in my fall grades?
Am I screwed if I do because they will see a poor grade in my first upper level biology course?
Advice is highly appreciated.
Thanks
 
what is your mcat? if they are specifically waiting for grades, send them. if you are on hold, send them. if you don't have any acceptances and have been complete for a bit, send them. it is get desperate time and changing nothing on your part is going to force them to change nothing on their part.

Edit: i see you have a 22N. I would probably update the grades everywhere and just plan on a rejection. to be on hold because there aren't enough upper level credits, and then to provide a C in an upper level, I would do what they asked but plan on retaking the mcat, basically because you HAVE to retake the mcat.
