Include "expected degree on CV"

Hi everyone,

in my bachelor's I did ok and I have a fairly good GMAT 720+. Now I am thinking of doing masters degree - mainly to improve my chances of breaking into IB. In Europe most degrees are about 12-18 months now onto my question.

As I mentioned I mainly want to do the master to improve my chances of breaking into IB. But in order to apply for SA I have to send my application on July or August 1st (in Europe). The problem is that at this point I don't know whether I will be accepted into a masters degree as the application rounds mostly start in October. So that raises the question "can/should I include expected masters degree in my CV?".

I know this sounds odd as at the moment I don't have an acceptance letter from the university, but let me ask you, how else can I use the master's programme if I don't include it in my application? 

Thank you
