I think the first thing to keep in mind is that the guys at MS wanted you to join them in the first place. They obviously see the potential in you. Keep in mind that, even though things might seem overwhelming from where you sit there are people out there that actively want to work with you when you're available. That's a great place to be.

In terms of what to do next, your health (mental and physical) is the most important thing. If there's a path you can take that will give you the best outcome there, that's what I'd optimise for. I imagine that trying to keep not completing your studies a secret will be stressful.

You career is definitely not shot. I went through some stuff in my last year of uni and ended up with pretty crappy grades. It's never once been a problem. In my experience, once you start working it's not even a consideration.

Ultimately the decision is yours but if it were me, I'd be looking to destress. Talking to the MS guys about your situation may well be the way to do that. You could explain and they'd be happy to push the start back. You could stop worrying about that aspect and carry on with your studies. If they weren't happy about it, then there's a strong case for saying that it's not the best environment to work in anyway.

All good advice. Thank you! I'll take that all into consideration. Good point about the work environment. There is still a slim chance I can graduate this summer, but if not, I think I'll take your advice and try to work something out with MS. Once again, thanks!
