Couple responses here:
I put "expected" because that is what I have always put for degrees in progress (such as during my senior year of college in reference to my MBA studies the year after) on my resume and when I had it critiqued at my school's career center they actually asked permission to include it in the book of model resumes and never mentioned that as an issue. I believe the inclusion of both "expected" and the most likely date of graduation is full disclosure.
Georgetown has a 2.1% attrition rate from year one to year two of law school
[1], so while I certainly expect it will be very challenging, will require exorbitant amounts of time, and that there is no guarantee I will do well or even pass, I do expect to be one of the 455 students who returns out of a class of 458 students.
I did earn 3 Associates degrees during my senior year of high school. It was a combination of proficiency exams, going to night class after high school during the day, taking online courses during the weekend, and attending summer courses. I transferred 144 credits into college when I was 18. I don't really know how else to phrase those facts.
Hope that answers the concerns.
