I am on track to graduate college in 3 years (2019) and currently interviewing for med school. Over the past several weeks, I have realized that I would rather complete my degree in 4 years and matriculate that fall for a variety of personal reasons. Staying in my undergraduate program would be greatly preferable to taking a gap-year. I am wondering whether a 1-year deferral request to finish my undergraduate program and matriculate in 2020 would be feasible. I am under no commitment to my university to graduate early, and I will finish all the required classes this Spring either way. I have had a pre-med advisor tell me that some schools may grant this request, but I am skeptical given that med schools require you to have graduated or to be on track to complete an undergraduate degree by the end of the cycle in order to apply.
