Acceptance Before Graduation

Members don't see this ad.

I am currently in the 4th year of my undergraduate. After this winter semester, I will have to take 3 more classes in the summer to receive my undergraduate degree. My summer semester will end on 08/06/15 and the medical school I hope to attend begins 08/04/15. Do you guys think that the medical school will notice that I will be enrolled without technically having my undergraduate degree? Will this cause a problem for me?
Should I let them know and risk them revoking my acceptance or hope it goes unnoticed?

I think you should be honest and let your medical school know. I'm sure the medical school will work with you to resolve this issue. Otherwise, you might get caught and then it will look worse for you.

I definitely wouldn't try to hide it. I really doubt they'd revoke your acceptance if you were honest. Do you have to be in both places those 2 days?

Maybe ask for a deferral for a year?

Usually if you finished classes in summer it will take a week or 2 to post your grades to your transcript and even longer to post your degree. Maybe your med school knows it'll take you time to provide proof so the exact date when your summer ends don't matter too much?

Doesn't your school have a deadline for final transcripts? I would definitely let them know about this

Do check with the medical school as to how they will handle this. This may be one reason why some schools say that they will accept someone with 90 college credits.

My concern would be that you would need to be in two places at once if you must be in attendance at the end of your last term in college and must be attending orientation and classes in med school on the same day.

Thank you for the input. The medical school will be just a few minutes walking distance from the undergraduate university. I think I will talk to an admissions counselor and let them know my situation.

I'm gonna say yes, OP.
