Should I apply before or after summer grades and DAT are posted?

Hi.

I am seeking advice on submitting the AADSAS application before or after my summer session 2 grades come. Being that I am a master's student, we get to take 3 hours of "research". Usually, if you do your work, you will get an A. Enrolling in this 3 hour course will bump my GPA from a 3.546 to a 3.622. My transcript with these grades won't be ready until around July 25th. I am also scheduled to take the DAT on July 31 and was thinking that I will have everything ready to go by July 31st so that I can go ahead and put my DAT scores in there and send. However, I know many people say to submit the application before your DAT scores come in. So, should I go ahead and submit my application without the 3 hour research course GPA bump or wait until that transcript is updated with that course?

Thanks!

I think your allowed to update your grades 1 time after you submit but I could be wrong. I think you would have to send in another transcript.

Considering your DAT is after, you can afford to wait it out for an updated transcript imo, the bump is significant enough.
