Hey guys, Pretty much I'm a reapplicant applying with a lower GPA (pretty bad grade decline, had a Junior year 3.8 and a senior year 3.0).

I submitted my transcripts with only my Fall semester GPA.

My overall is a 3.64 with a 2.85 senior year GPA at this point.

I was thinking about sending my updated transcript, it should get there before I am verified.

This would raise my senior year GPA but drop my overall to

3.60 cpga 3.0 senior year GPA


Seeing as ADCOMS see each year's GPA as the first thing, is it better to have a 3.0 senior yr over a 2.85 and take the extra .04 drop?

Note: I included the grades in my app already, but I think the transcript went out before the grades were officially on it.
 
I would send it. First, to avoid the question of "what are you hiding" or possibly making your application look incomplete. Second, a 3.0 looks a heck of a lot better on paper than 2.85, and a .04 drop is fairly inconsequential. Good luck!

Agreed... I would send it
 
Send it. There is something psychological about seeing a GPA <3.0 that is really going to turn ADCOMs off. The difference of 0.04 in your cumulative GPA is inconsequential.

Survivor DO
 
Done, Submitted to AMCAS June 22, I expect to get verified like July 27th, and just expressed mailed the transcript right now, it should arrive in time no?
 
You are joking right? It will get there in time because you will not be verified for a few weeks at least.

Just wanted to make sure! :] took 2-3 weeks for some of my transcripts to be sent and marked received
