I can graduate my undergrad, very prestigious school, in seven semesters. However, during this seventh semester, I will hopefully be receiving interviews and acceptances from med schools. Will they frown upon the fact that I am not going to school for an 8th semester (grades from that semester and whatnot?). What do you think? Detrimental for acceptances, frowned upon?
Graduating College in 7 semesters = disadvantage for med school acceptances

no..i dont even know why you would think why. You graduate when you graduate and doing so early isnt bad. As long as you have the pre reqs and everything done it doesnt matter.

finished in 6 and have had 5 interviews and an acceptance, and never questioned about early finish
but don't expect to get a break on grades for finishing early

I don't think anyone cares one way or another...as long as you do well and get good grades in your pre-reqs, it doesn't matter. It probably won't work for or against you.

If you were graduating in 6 semesters, and applying after your 4th semester, you might have something to be concerned about, simply because you would only have 4 semesters of records (and only two years to really have some ECs) at the time of application. But with 6 semesters already done, there shouldn't be any issue.

I graduated in 7 semesters also, and had no problem getting accepted. You'll be fine.
