It should be fine, but there is evidence that a longer interval may optimize response. Please have a vaccination booster prior to school.

The timing of the original two covid-19 vaccines and the booster are meant to allow for the maximum immune response. Most official requirements will not allow deviation from this schedule. Talk to your Medical School admin. about getting the vaccine two months after you start.
