Final year student - SA in London

Hi everyone! I'm a final year student doing an MSc in Finance at a European target uni with 2 summer internships on the background (BB corporate banking and European low tier IB). I should be graduating in July 2019, but more likely targeting September 2019. I could even postpone graduation to December 2019 or March 2020.

I am going to apply to SA in London instead of FT cause I don't think to have a chance for FT M&A as of today. This is probably a silly question but it's free to ask: shall I state September 2019 or March 2020 as my graduation date when applying online?

On the one hand, with the March 2020 option I will be considered a penultimate year student, but on the other hand they could get the message that it takes me 3 years to finish my Master, even though I am just delaying graduation with everything already done. What's best? I am afraid to be rejected directly by the system if it figures out I am a final year.
