Starting MSc - Put on CV for Recruitment?

Hey WSO,

With recruitment starting earlier and earlier, a few issues have surfaced. I am starting my MSc at LSE in September, and was wondering if I am eligible to list this on my CV or even "Select your School" choices during applications?

To my knowledge, many SA apps are open in July/August, so would I have to wait until September to be officially "in" the program? How would applying in September affect my chances of getting an interview as opposed to applying earlier?

Thanks!
