How do I send an update with my fall grades?

[akg0119]

Is there a consensus about this - do I send in the transcript to AMCAS or directly to schools? Or do I summarize my grades in a written update to schools? I just was not sure what to do with the transcript itself.

Thank you

Minimum grades worthy of update?

I know people on here typically recommend updating schools after a semester of good grades, but what constitutes a semester of good grades? Does it have to be all A's? By the end of this semester, I'll have taken 24 credits since applying (5 A and 3 A-) which works out to ~3.89, and I'm unsure...

For AMCAS. a Fall grade update should:
-be sent directly to schools that allow updates
-should be sent only if it reflects well on you, unless requested
-can be summarized by you in a letter format, unless a formal transcript is requested.

Thank you so much!
