j0rdan Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) I'm starting to panic a little bit that my application will be rejected based off of this alone. In my application I state that I will receive my degree in April. In my old CV that I uploaded I stated that my "Anticipated Date of Graduation" is December 2013, which has obviously passed. As of December 2013, I had enough credits to graduate (this is my 5th undergraduate year), but I decided to stay an extra semester and take an honours thesis. Do you think this will affect my admission? I feel like I'm over panicking (I hope). Edited January 20, 2014 by j0rdan
fuzzylogician Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 I don't think it will affect your application. This is the kind of discrepancy that, if anybody notices, they will just ask you about. If I were reading the file and noticed it, I would assume that something in your plans changed between the CV and the application, and the only question I would want to verify with you is that you'll have the degree before the fall, otherwise you can't begin the program. If you don't graduate by the time you are made an offer, the offer may have to be conditional, but that happens fairly regularly, so it's nothing to worry about, just something to know. I suggest you contact the schools you applied to and ask that they update your application with a new CV. Many schools will agree, and it'll show good faith in fixing the mistake once you caught it, though again I don't think you need to worry about it much.
