just found out due to a technicality in requirements for my school i will not have all the required rotations done to finish at the beginning of may. I will have all the requirements for degree finished by 6/14 and will have my degree granted however my the university only "confers" degrees 3 times a year; may, august and january. thus I will not have my diploma printed until august. this raises the issue of licensing, will i be able to acquire my license in time to start july since I have finished my graduation requirements or do i need it to be conferred?
i am incredibly scared and have no idea what to do; I am applying for anesthesia and have been pretty successful so far (14 interviews). has anyone heard of anyone in a similar circumstance, how should i proceed?
do you guys think that residencies will allow me to start in august; i really don't want to have to apply again as it will severely hurt my chances to be a re-applicant.

We've held spots for up to 3 months. I think that is the max. Tell your programs now. Talk to your registrar and Dean stat. Get out in front of this.
