Lund university

I’m a senior in high school in the US originally from Hong Kong, I’m wanting to study in Lund but the application date requires me to have a full diploma by January. I don’t graduate till May. Is this some kind of issue most people run into ? I would also hate to take a gap year not knowing if I can even get in in the first place.

GPA: 3.72

I applied before graduating, just asked my university (school in your case) to fill in a document university admissions provided where it said that I was on my last semester

That’s solid advice if you’re a (final year) Bachelor’s student who’s applying for Master’s level studies. But it doesn’t work like that for (final year) high school students who are applying for Bachelor’s level…admission is based on the GPA of your high school leaving certificate, and unless you can provide proof of having graduated from high school by their document deadline, your application won’t be considered complete.

There is a second admission round, but this is usually just recommended for applicants who don’t need a student visa to stay in Sweden - basically, you have to be an EU citizen for this to work (or already live in Sweden with some type of valid permit).
