Depends on how well you'll think you'll do in your summer classes and how big of an impact they will have on your GPA. If you'll do poorly in your summer classes, then apply early. If not, then wait until your classes are over, then add in the grades.
Yeah I'll have to check and see what sort of a difference they make, good point. But I can't go with the latter option, apply earlier, then add in the grades? Or will I be verified by then and it won't have affect on my GPA? Isn't submitting by July still early though - that's my main question I guess?Depends on how well you'll think you'll do in your summer classes and how big of an impact they will have on your GPA.

Submitting by July means you'll be verified by end of July. If you get your secondaries in by end of August you'll be sort of early. Obviously the earlier, the better.
So submitting in June, updating classes end of June/earlyJuly, does not work?Submitting by July means you'll be verified by end of July. If you get your secondaries in by end of August you'll be sort of early. Obviously the earlier, the better.

It really depends on your stats/EC's. If you have good stats/EC's, then you'll be invited to an interview, even if you didn't apply super early. If you have mediocre stats, best to apply early.
Also, I believe you can't use the academic update until September in AACOMAS. Your GPA will be locked until then. That's why I said it is imperative to know how well you think you'll do in your summer classes. If you do well, then submit after you get those grades from summer classes.
Gotcha. Thanks for the advice.It really depends on your stats/EC's. If you have good stats/EC's, then you'll be invited to an interview, even if you didn't apply super early. If you have mediocre stats, best to apply early.
