I've already had an interview where my transcript said I was graduating May 2012. But today I realized I had enough credits to graduate this December instead.

Assuming I'm accepted into medical school, will it matter if I graduate a semester early instead? Will they get upset about this since the transcript I sent said I'm graduating May 2012 and not December 2011?

By the end of this semester, I would've finished all my required courses, and all the human-upper-level-biology courses (neurobiology, physiology, histology, cell bio, biochem, endocrinology) offered at my college. The only other one I might be interested in is parasitology, but I can always pick up a textbook for that.

This seems contradictory.

Regardless, provided none of the classes you listed as future coursework are required by a school before matriculation, I doubt there will be a problem.

My transcript says I'm graduating May 2012, not December 2011.
