applying with classes pending

[NerdyGal25]

most of the  mph programs I will be applying to have a priority deadline of dec 1st

i am taking an extensive load of upper division classes to increase my postbacc gpa-so i can show adcom that i have what it takes academic wise

 

the grades for fall semester wont be up until mid december. so i will have to submit my application with a transcript that shows my classes as pending/in progress if i want to apply by the priority deadline

 

would it be better for me to apply after the priority deadline if it means i can submit my application with a transcript that will have my final grades in? i really do not know how the adcom deals with classes that are pending-and of course i want to maximize my chances. right now my post bac gpa is at a 3.2 and after this semester it can be at a 3.6 (if i continue to do well!)

 

so whats the best option for me? apply priority with application that lists my classes in progress or wait until i get the final grades in?

Apply by the priority deadline, and when your new transcript comes in if it's as a good as you think it is, update your admissions file with the new transcript.  You can do this by mailing it to the school with a letter enclosed, and emailing the department secretary for a heads up.

thank you!

yeah the uc schools all have strict deadlines but who knows if i actually even stand a chance? GW is my biggest hope of getting in though-they seem to be more forgiving and look at upward gpa trends.
