for those of you who have submitted your AADSAS before the end of summer school schedules, did you complete summer coursework? if so, are you waiting for AADSAS to have their "academic update period" to send in new transcripts?

the thing is, i earned an A in microbiology and an A in ochem II this summer, and i want these grades reflected in my application for adcom consideration. could i just email the schools an updated copy of my transcripts?

thanks

I talked to several schools about this and they all suggested waiting for the academic update period because "we only access electronic files during reviews and will most likely not consider anything other than what is on AADSAS"

basically, do not fax us your summer grades. wait until the update.

I wanted to let them know how I did, as well....but they were at least honest in saying they will not look at it.

yeah that's what i thought.


i really want to send in the updated copy of my transcript, but i'd rather not waste the $5 processing fee per school for them not to look at it. :/

I was in the same situation and I contacted the schools I had applied to, and the majority actually said they would accept an updated transcript sent to their office that included my summer grades. I do remember that schools such as Boston, Temple, and Louisville did not however. They may also have accepted an updated transcript because I am a reapplicant and had talked to some of the schools prior to this to go over application.
