<p>Will be 3 years for me, but intentionally.</p>
<p>I don't see how graduating mid-year would make you miss out on grad school in any way. You can still apply for for the next fall exactly the same. Most schools don't accept mid-year admissions, and it woud only be a bonus possibility anyway.</p>
<p>If I satisy all requirements in three years or by my seventh semester, will the college automatically inform me to graduate? Or would I have to fill out a form in order to officially graduate? (College of Chemistry)</p>
<p>If I stay idle for the spring semester because I graduate early, would graduate schools frown upon this? </p>
<p>What if I plan to work towards more than one degree? If I satisfy all the requirements for one degree by my seventh semester, but need only one more course for another degree, would I still be forced to graduate? Or would I need to submit a form to declare my intention to graduate or delay my graduation for one more semester (for a total of 8)?</p>
<p>Thanks for all of your replies to my previous questions.</p>
<p>graduating early means you were committed to your studies and you were able to keep your grades up while going at a faster pace than others. i don't see why grad schools wouldn't like someone who can manage this. plus, you can always work or do something else instead of being idle.</p>

vicissitudes: I am sure those are correct numbers for 1999 but I believe I have seen higher numbers for a more recent year... can't find where I saw it or remember the exact number but somewhere in the mid to high 80's... has anyone else seen this printed somewhere or know this to be true?

<p>Here's the thing CA2006, if iyou measure a year like...2001, well how do you measure how many people graduated in 6 years or less? Those who graduate in 6 years will graduate next year. When Berkeley comes out with CDS 2006-2007 I think that will provide the 2000 cohort which should be the most recent.</p>
<p>But, I also suspect that students now are probably graduating at a slightly higher rate. Average GPA has slowly climbed so that would make sense.</p>
