My spring Qtr ends Jun 15, grades arrive June 30ish. Is it better to wait for the Spring grades before applying, or will the wait til July hurt my chances?

(cGPA ~3.4 - I prefer including spring grades) If not, when will they next look at spring grades?

If I take summer school too this yr (starts July, receive grades early Aug), will they wait for these grades if I apply in say, July? Or when will they see them?

When should I apply?🙁

Thanks for your help!

If your gpa is under 3.4 without spring, wait until they're available. you can still do some of the legwork though.

You can submit AMCAS and then update them with new grades after verification if you want.

AMCAS will not update your GPA after you sumit your primary.

AMCAS will not update your GPA after you sumit your primary.

but you can update individual scores to schools. Basically it doesnt matter when you apply. If you want to have those spring grades in because its going ot help your GPA then wait, its not going to hurt you. If you dont care if those spring grades are in the apply june 1st.

Wait for the spring grades if you think your gpa will improve to 3.5 or more. Else don't wait.

Thanks everyone!

If I waited til July 1st, will verification take too long? Or is July 1st still considered "early?"

Also if I update after verification to incl. summer grades, will that be seen on primary, or secondary appl (if i get a secondary)?

Thanks in advance

It's prob still early. Summer grades updated with secondaries, I bet.
