i know a lot of ppl make packets for their professors/references and it said to include science grades. my grades were not great (2.4, 2.8, 3.5, 4.0) but had an upward trend each year. should i still give them my grades?

when is the latest we can send in letter of recommendation. i have 3 but im waiting till the end of the season for the LOR from my fencing coach (she'll probably write it up in a month).

Quick question, is it frowned upon to get a letter from a professor that AMCAS won't have a grade for? For example, i'm taking an english class now, and I really hit it off with the professor and am doing well in the class. I asked her to write a letter and she agreed, but by the time grades are finalized, I will have already submitted my application. Is that alright?

Letters arent really due until the secondary application process. Letters arent verified by AMCAS so they dont get delayed. Having a letter to a school by August 1st would be very early.
