Final Year BSc applying for SA 2021 LDN

Wondering if it is possible to apply to IB SA 2021 positions, although graduation date is in May 2021. I will most likely be pursuing a 1yr MSc at LBS/Oxbridge after graduating, yet those applications do not finilise until early next year.

Therefore, I wanted to ask about your opinions/personal expriences/advice if anyone has gone through a simiar process. I did see a similar thread, but one of the most important questions wasn't answered: How to avoid being (automatically) dinged when the undergrad graduation date is set for 2021, and securing a MSc isn't possible until much later?

Really appreciate it!

Sure - so like a line at the top of your CV stating that you will be doing a masters? Or like a note in the cover letter + tick the 'penultimate year' box on the application form? Thanks
