Hey everyone,
I go to school on a quarter system (just finished my third year), and spring quarter grades were not available until late june. but following sdn suit, I submitted and had my amcas verified in early june (because I wanted to get it in early and because my grades didn't seem like they were gonna turn out that great). So basically I applied with 8 quarters of grades (versus the 9 that's recommended). My GPA is pretty high, so I figured that they wouldn't really care. Also, I didn't take any pre-med requirements during this past quarter. I received my grades a couple weeks ago and ended up getting a 3.83 during spring quarter--much better than expected--so I'm wondering if it's worth it to update the schools. Granted, my gpa did drop, though not by much.
I'd rather not send them to schools, only because it's such a hassle, but if the lack of a 9th quarter is going to negatively affect me, I'd rather just send it. If I do, how should I forward it to them? Do I just type up my courses and grades on a piece of paper and submit that? or do I need to get my school to submit an official transcript ($5 per transcript for 23 schools)? or can I print out an unofficial transcript online (which is like 4 pages)?
Thanks for the help!
