Background Check Question - Recent graduate from a top target

hey guys,

im a recent graduate from a top target. ive had multiple interviews, yet no offers. not to sounds cocky, but ive really knocked some of these out of the park, and im starting to get curious ... consider this dilemma:

I graduated this past May. completed all my coursework, etc. however, because I still owe money for the balance on my tuition, i haven't technically graduated. would this come up on a background check that I am not a graduate from the school, thus making me look like a liar to potential employers ? please, only credible feedback ...

thanks guys

Most companies due background checks after they extend offers. When they find something wrong in your background they are required to notify you with what they find.

Unfortunately, it seems like you've just been missing the ball park, but keep trying cause it's never too late.

Do what you want not what you can!
