How to show my intention to study masters??!?

Hey guys,

I will be applying for summer internships this recruitment cycle however all these internships require that you graduate in 2022. This isn't a problem, as I will be doing a masters from 2021-2022. The issue is that I have yet to receive a masters offer (applications for masters programmes haven't even opened!). The question is how do I show on my resume that I will be studying for a masters? I feel like I cant just slap a top tier masters university on my resume with dates that are in the future and no official offer and I don't want to leave it out as I fear that I will be rejected before they even consider me as a candidate because I don't meet the basic requirement of graduating in 2022. Any advice?

Maybe you could just literally add a line on your resume "Master's degree in Finance at University" and indicate in a bullet point that you plan to pursue your studies to grad school

 

Hey, I’m going to be doing the same I planned on just showing my gmat results on my CV because I couldn’t think of anything else.

Ended up not doing any masters, re-invented myself by blitzing through coding work and having a few cool personal projects under my belt, now work in data at tech.
