Hi,
Im applying this yr and Im also taking a post-bacc program.
I did pretty well my 1st trimester so I sent the grades to AACOMAS to send them to DO school.
But, last trimester I received C+ in one of my classes. =(
I dont want the schools to see my updated transcript right now.

I have one more trimester left and the final grades will be in in May.
Should I wait until then so that they'll see my whole trascript??? or should I send my second trimester grades in now with the C+?

I got 27 on my mcat and have a lot of clinical experience...
Thank you for your response.
 
They are ultimately going to see the C+ either way, even if you repeat the class. I don't think one C+ is going to really be that big an issue if you have good grades and a strong application otherwise. The most important thing you can do is apply as early as possible. The sooner you get your application in the better your chances are. So if you are considering delaying your application to see if you get a better grade as a repeat, don't do it. Just apply. Good luck.
 
The thing is...
Ive already sent in my primaries and secondaries....
and the school are just waiting for my post-bacc grades now.
(I wont be retaking the course)
My question is ... should I send them my second semester grades now or should I wait until I also get my third trimester grades(that may makeup for the C+)???

I doubt that the schools are "waiting on your post-back grades" to make a decision or offer you an interview.

Your first trimester would probably suffice for now. I wouldn't worry aobut sending these now if you are concerned unless you are asked to do so or have been asked to specifically keep your transcript up to date. I know I wouldn't want to have to pay for transcripts that often. If you have any interviews, I would make sure you have a copy of your most recent transcript with you just in case they ask.
 
Im confused, to the OP, are you trying to get into this falls entering class?
