Has anyone one here done/heard of someone graduating summer rather than spring and then going to medical school? I'm asking because of the way my schedule is set up so this might be a very real possibility for me. Would i be fine doing this or do med schools typically have mandatory orientations near the end of the summer that couldn't afford to miss?

Most orientations are the beginning/middle of august, as far as I'm aware. People do this, presumably with some sort of frequency. Most med schools only require 90 or so hours of a degree to apply, so you could do it.

When will you be done? I think middle of August is much later than most medical schools start. My mandatory orientation was the last week of July and other schools near me were the same.
