If I take summer classes during the summer right after my junior year and get official transcript by July, will medical schools have time to review them and take those classes into account when making decisions?

Yes. Send in your transcript after you get your summer grades.

Did you retake the MCAT yet?

Wait, I have a question about this. So if I submit my AMCAS the first day available in June 2008 & get verified as soon as possible... but am taking summer classes, will that nullify submitting early? If I am waiting on summer classes to end and new transcripts to get sent(mid-august)/verified, will my application be put on hold until mid August?

Thanks in advance!

Just submit AMCAS with what you've got now, and send transcripts directly to your schools when summer grades come in.

For TMDSAS, each semester's grades affect the GPA. I know that my summer school grades weren't in before schools considered applications for interviews, but my grades were factored in before my interviews. (This is important because at some schools, interviewers actually get to see your GPA, and one of them even commented on my GPA.)
