transcript timing question.

Members don't see this ad.

I am applying this year with 21/21/21 for the 09 cycle. I have a 3.33 gpa currently, with 3.19 sGPA. Should I wait til my spring grades come out in June to send in my transcripts, since I am taking 16 science credit hrs? It will make my GPA around 3.39 with my anticipated grades. Or if I wait til my summer grades come out in August, my gpa will be around 3.45, with around 3.25-3.3 sGPA, and I will have graduated by then.

Also, the reason my grades are low is because of freshman year when I overloaded my schedule and got a 2.6 one quarter. Would it help my chances if I showed my transcript proving I graduated in 3 years?
Or should I send in my transcript at a different time?

All help is always greatly appreciated.

Thanks you guys..

Well, I think it is your call. I wouldn't wait if I were you, however. Since waiting until August to send in your trasncript is somewhat late and risky.

Being hispanic, on the other hand, would classify you as an underrepresented minorty - which is a plus. 🙂
