Hi,

I have two more quarters before I graduate in June 2015. Right now, I have a cGPA of 3.480, a sGPA of 3.30 (both GPAs are AACOMAS calculated), and an MCAT score of 30. I am aiming to ace the next two quarters worth of classes, which would bring me up to >3.5 cGPA, and 3.36 sGPA, before asking for the transcripts to be turned in to AACOMAS. However, the last quarter will end on 6/15/2015, and I will have my final grades by 6/17/2015. Assuming I have solid ECs and LORs, should I wait to finish my last quarter before I request the transcript to be turned in (just so my GPA is the highest it can be), or should I just neglect the last quarter's GPAs and submit the primary application really early (around 6/1/2015)? Which option would put me in the best position for an acceptance?

Also, I will be taking Biochemistry in my last quarter.

Thanks!
 
I don't think 16 days is going to make a huge difference if you want my honest opinion.
 
I submitted around 2 weeks late and my application still was verified within the second week of July. I think you should be fine submitting after your grades come out

I wouldn't worry about submitting two weeks after the cycle opens, you will still be VERY early in the cycle.
