Schedule of Application Cycle & Summer Courses: need advice

[Flippinski]

Ok, I'm planning on taking my MCAT April 18. I'm looking at submitting my AMCAS app in mid June once MCAT scores come out (assuming I did decent). I will have completed my prerequisites by Spring 15 semester, but don't have too many courses beyond that. Also, I'm 8 years out of undergrad, graduated in 2007. So I was thinking I should take some other BIO classes and a Statistics class, maybe even an English class, adding some classes beyond the prerequisites, and hopefully boosting my 3.4 GPA a little bit. The summer semester is over August 8, 2015.

My questions are:

• will the new grades from these classes be input into my application before they fully consider me for admission?

• Is it better to wait until I get those grades and then submit my application?
• Is it worth taking these classes
• Should I just wait to apply in the 2017 cycle?

Thoughts?
