Want to apply next summer. Since I apply early, I may get accepted or denied early. Does that mean I won't be able to send in my fall semester grade update?

It's really rare to get rejected before the academic update period begins.
However, if that does happen, yeah. After a school rejects you. You're done.
When is the academic update period?

Around mid November.
Final grades wouldn't be out by then?

The update period is from mid November- mid January.
Oh ok thanks for the info
Do you update them yourself? How does it work?

You enter what grades you got on your application (in the academic update section) and then send your fall semester transcript. From there AADSAS verifies it and re-calculates your GPA. It's really easy and low-key.
Ah okay, thanks! I'm assuming you only do this if you got accepted somewhere right?

Actually the opposite. You want to do it if you are waiting for be accepted and have got good grades from the fall. I got into my #1 on Dec. 1st so I had no reason to do the academic update.
Interesting! If you do get accepted, what's a GPA you have to maintain?
F

Some schools require B's and others just require that you have a C in your pre-reqs. I'd assume as long as I don't get F's I could matriculate because my pre-reqs were all done before I applied. I'd say the best idea would to settle for B's at the lowest. Although I think I remember @Daneosaurus saying he got C's after he was accepted. I'll most likely get A's this semester but I'm not going to fret over a B if it happens.
