If you wait until after your senior year you will likely not get in anywhere. Apply whn apps open. Send updated transcripts later.

Apply in Oct/Nov. If you want your senior year grades counted, you should wait a cycle and apply fall of 2013.

As for the difference between a 3.5 and a 3.58, check the medians of the schools you're aiming at. 0.08 really only makes a difference if it tips you over the median at a school. But if the median is, say, 3.4 or 3.7, then the difference will hardly matter.

Ummm, thats true if OP still wants to start in 2013. I would assume they know that if they wait till after their senior year to apply, they should be applying for 2014.

OP, a little prudency (wait, get the 3.6, gain some WE while you apply) may help your cycle a bit... but if I were you I would apply this Fall, then update your transcripts when you can. 3.6 is still below all T14 medians, so like RR said, it wont make to much of a difference.

Great job on the LSAT!
