I'm currently at a 3.55 cGPA and 3.48 sGPA, and I'm taking 12 credits of summer courses in the first session, which would push me up to a 3.59 cGPA and 3.55 sGPA if all goes well. The only problem is the courses end June 29th, which means I'd be submitting AMCAS in the first week of July - is it worth it to wait so long and potentially not be verified until late July/early August for the small(ish) GPA boost?
Should I wait for summer grades?

Just one opinion but I would not. A 3.55/3.48 split is not going to close doors on you outside of uber competitive places and even then they'll probably still send you a secondary.
The most important part about your science GPA is that it is approximately the same as your cumulative GPA. That says two people that you can do the work of a science curriculum.
