Hey Everyone,

I am currently in the process of applying to Do schools. I have already interviewed at 3 schools and have been accepted to all 3, thankfully. When I began the application process, I indicated that I was going in graduate from college in May of 2012. However, plans have kind of changed for me, and I found out I can graduate a semester early. My question is, would I have to correct this on my aacomas application, and will they send the schools I am waiting to hear back from an update with this information? Also, will that hurt my chances at other schools? I just want to keep my options open. Graduating early will save me lots of time and money, but I don't want this decision to hurt my chances at any schools I am waiting to hear back from or cause schools to cancel my acceptance because of that change. Any responses are greatly appreciated! Thanks guys 🙂

Why would this be a bad thing lol? Maybe just give the schools a notification like "hey, i'm more awesome that I thought. Graduating early, just FYI"

My thoughts exactly...

The only thing negative is your school loan kicking in if you don't have a job and you can't restart the deferment process until med school matriculation.

At most he/she would be paying for 2 months. You get a 6 month grace-period which puts him/her around June for starting payments, then average matriculation date is around August.

Damn school loans 👎

**Clearly I'm talking about Fed Loans, I don't know jack about private loans**

I thought this thread would've been about you having to push BACK your graduation date.

Enjoy your extra semester off! 🙂

See if you can find a paid research position during your time off. You get $$ to start paying off your loans; possibly get authorship; and get connections and LoRs for future use.
