Hey guys, future MD-PhD applicant here.

My academic plan will require me to take two online classes the summer after I technically graduate. Although I can walk during spring graduation, I still have to complete two more electives in the summer in order to actually get my degree. Do MD/PhD allow this or will this be something that would make me ineligible to apply to MD-PhD programs? I understand that some programs start in the spring while others make it optional (usually an opportunity to start lab rotations). Could anyone give me insight on my situation?

My school required my degree (masters in my case) to be conferred by the time I matriculated. I cut it pretty close at 2 wks before the start date
