Do Schools Expect Me to Send Senior Fall Grades?

Hey SDN,

I'm a senior right now and applying to medical school. Some of my top choices I have interviewed at do not make decisions until March, but some have asked that I submit an update before then. I have an update regarding a new TA position I am currently pursuing but am not sure if they also expect me to send my grades for this fall. I am concerned about sending my updated grades because I am definitely taking a lighter course-load than usual and might not do as well I have during other semesters (e.g. 3.7 instead of 3.9).

My question is, would it be bad to not send these grades if I don't do as well as I would like? Would they know I am hiding my grades if I don't mention them? Maybe it is best to just send an update before grades come out and leave it at that?

Thanks in advance!

I know all Texas schools besides Baylor require senior fall transcripts.

Oh seriously?
I took summer classes and I was waiting till I finalized where I was going to attend so I dont have to spend unnecessary money sending it to schools I interviewed at.
Do you know when they are due? I thought I had until late spring next year.
