Apply now or wait awhile?

I plan on applying to SABA for the may 2003 entrance date, and was wondering if anyone had any advice on when I should send off my application.

I have a cum. gpa of 2.6 (due to screwing around in my earlier days of school) and an MCAT of 23 11v, 6bs, 6ps.

I realize full well that even for a Caribbean school, I am not particularly competitive of a candidate, and I was wondering if I should send my application off right now, or wait until the beginning of December when my grades for this current fall term are available.

I already have a degree, but am taking upper level science courses this fall in the hopes of strengthening my application. I am taking microbiology, cell biology, and vertebrate physiology, and am doing well in all classes.

So should I turn my app in now, while noting to SABA that I am currently taking these courses, or wait a month or so and apply when they will be able to see my grades for the current semester?

I know applying early can help a less competitive candidate like me, would waiting until December be too late to really help for May '03?

Thanks!
