My GPA is a 3.45 and MCAT is 30, I failed an ecology class last summer and I'm retaking this class in the beginning of august (the failure was due to reasons other than academics). The class lasts for two weeks in a camp in upstate New York and I expect to receive the new grade at the end of august. Should I wait for the grade? Or should I send my transcript to D.O. schools now? I'm torn. Any advice helps, Thanks!

I would submit now with the class marked as in progress or pending. That way, the F should not be factored into your GPA because it will be entered for 0 credits.

Ok that makes sense, thank you.

This is incorrect. The F factors in if you don't have a replaced grade.

How much of a GPA change do you expect retaking that F?
