Hi all. I have been admitted into an American Ph.D. program. At the moment I am in my last semester of a terminal MA, and things were going smoothly until I realized that I won't be able to get my official degree until September (a couple of weeks after the Ph.D. program starts). By that time I will have finished all my courses and I will be able to study in person in the US, but I wonder if graduating from the MA after my Ph.D. starts may be an issue for my registration/standing in the Ph.D. program. I have already reached out to my prospective university to ask if this would be a problem, but I am yet to hear back and I would like to know if anyone has had a similar experience.
