So, I'm taking seven courses right now to finish my degree and I know that their cumulative effect will definitely hurt my GPA. Should I have my school send out the transcripts before I finish this semester (The 21st of May) and leave the classes as "In Progress" while slyly never updating them?

Thoughts?
 
Schools will require you to send your final transcripts before you matriculate, and most (if not all) have standards which must be met by those courses. If you do poorly or fail don't expect to "slyly" get away with it--they will see all of your grades.
 
I know they'll look at it, overall the semester with 22 semester hours should be a 3.00 GPA average, but say my anatomy course is a C while my Spanish course is an A. I just don't think it will hurt me if I am offered a conditional acceptance. My MCAT is good and my overall GPA should still be at a 3.5..

I'd send them off with the better GPA, then if you get an acceptance off of that GPA I think there is an expectation of at least a "C" in each subsequent class after acceptance.
 
Ah thanks for the input MLT2Mt2DO. However, I just read an update about the 2011 AACOMAS, they wont begin processing until Spring grades are in.. Sigh.
