Hey guys,

I just got accepted into medical school and noticed that my schools orientation week falls on the week of my best friends wedding for which I am her maid of honor. Let’s say I spend Friday- Sunday with her for the wedding, is this possible? I know attendance is mandatory, but if I leave late Friday night or do a make up day is that even plausible? Is orientation also over the weekend? I’m hesitant to reach out to the medical school since I just got my A and I’m unsure if the orientation dates are correct yet. Has anyone been in a similar situation or know what I should do?
