Early Aug Verifications- How long did it take?

If I want July summer school grades (1-2 classes) entered with my primaries, bumping me from 3.41 to ~3.48 GPA after a senior year(assume 32+MCAT), should I submit my primaries in Aug? Will it hurt my chances with my GPA? Should I submit primaries in June and withhold transcripts til Aug (Not sure if it makes a diff)?

(CA resident, wanting to stay in CA obviously!)
For those submitting primaries in early Aug, how long did verification take, and have you received secondaries/interview invites yet?

Thanks guys!

If you dont send in your transcripts until August, then your primary will not be verified until august. The whole point of verification is to check your transcripts against the classes/grades you put on your application. I would submit in june with transcripts from the spring. Then is August, you can "update" your application w/ new grades and mail new transcripts, and since you're already verified, it will be much quicker.
Plus, sometimes it takes colleges a little while to actually mail out your transcript once you've requested it, so if you get summer grades in mid august, it might be 2 weeks after that (or maybe even longer) when AMCAS/AACOMAS recieved them. So then your app wont get in line to be verified until end of august.
