Senior or Grad Student?
Here’s a question for you all:
In the fall I’m taking three grad courses and doing my undergraduate senior project. At the end of the fall term I’m going to get my B.S. degree. In the following spring I’ll be officially a graduate student, just one with 12/30 credit hours accounted for.
So what does that make me now? A senior, or a graduate student? What about in the fall? When all of your classes (in classrooms) are grad classes, are you still an undergraduate?
Am I right to be confused?

If we are voting-I vote you are a senior until you graduate. Then you become a grad student. Unless there are some benefits to being a grad student right now. Then I could change my vote!
Depends. If you are in a combined BS/MS program, you are a grad student. If not, as in you applied to the graduate program through normal channels, then you are an undergrad until you receive your BS or equivalent.
Senior, until you graduate.
