MCAT done in May.

1. Submit end of June with a 3.30 cGPA & 3.30 sGPA after freshman retake #1
2. Early August with 3.38 cGPA & 3.5 sGPA, after a freshman retake #2.

Submitting end of june, means i'll be complete late July/Early August (4-6 week verification?)
Submitting early August, risks being complete in September?

I've searched and have gauged that there isn't much difference in june/july but i'm just worried about the verification times.

If I did option 1) could I just update the schools when retake #2 is complete, and then they will use my updated GPA's? Anyone have experience with this?

Submit beginning of June. Update MCAT and grades when available.

So schools will use updated grades when considering for secondary/ interview invites?

I was just reading conflicting things that they would primarily look at whatever was initially submitted in the primary..

As long as your gpa is above cut-offs, you should submit day 1.
