I am taking summer classes (3), 2 of which are science but the last one doesn't end until mid August. Should I wait until I get the grade for that last class or just send in my transcripts right now? I expect my GPA to increase a little from the summer classes: right now cGPA 3.82, sci 3.69; if I get an A in all 3 classes, ~3.84, sci 3.73. I want to apply to both DO and MD schools, taking MCAT July 29th.

Thanks.

Mine is similar to yours. I'm taking the Kaplan class which starts this week but I started about 1 week ago. I don't really have a regular schedule because of the daily English papers but I do try to get some MCAT studying done each night, a chapter + questions from Kaplan. I only have the Bio 1001 and verbal 101. My weakest area I think is gen chem, are you finding the 1001 for chem to be helpful even though they are not passage based? How are the others like physics and orgo (orgo I heard was not very good)?

I'm also a retaker, and got demolished the first time, especially in verbal (1 1/2 week preparation). Hopefully our hard work will pay off.
