Hey there. So my cGPA is a 3.36 and I want to use the spring and summer semesters coming up to bring up my GPA. I know I can bring it up but the only problem is time. I am planning on taking my MCATs in May and hopefully doing well enough to not have to retake them. I basically want to wait till after I receive grades for my summer classes because, if I'm correct (I might not be), that would be the last chance I have to bring up my GPA for the upcoming application cycle. So my question is since the last day of summer sessions would be August 17th, should I start my application process after that date or is there anything I can do before hand?
Also one more question: is there a huge difference between say a 3.5 cGPA and a 3.58 cGPA? Would medical school admissions put a large weight in the .08 difference if you are well-rounded applicant?
