I'm working on my application right now. and I have low undergrad GPA and currently doing my master which i started in January. I only have 9 credits.
I'm trying to send them by next week as early as possible.
now, here is my question, since i'm taking summer school, what's the best to update my grade? do I have to send each school my updated transcript? how does this work?

Thanks

There's a period called academic update where the coursework section will reopen and allow you to enter updated grades....as far as I know though, you can only use the academic update once, so if you will be taking classes in fall that you want to update dental schools on, you should wait until those are over and graded and then enter both the summer's and fall's grades at one time. And yes, you need to submit an updated transcript to AADSAS that reflects the new grades.

but my q is would school just reject you without waiting for summer and fall grade?
 
You can call each school that you are applying to and ask them if you can submit an updated transcript to them after your summer courses are over. Then in December you can use the Academic Update period to enter your grades for Summer and Fall 2009. As far as if they may reject you or not before the academic update period, I'm not completely sure. I think that since you are in a Masters program, they will wait to see your Fall grades as well and see how you did for that semester, if they haven't made a decision by that time.
