Hi all, I am expected to finish my undergrad BA come Summer 13'. My finals for that term will be around Sept. 3-8. I am thinking about applying to several grad schools that start their Fall 13' Term around Sept. 26. My question is, is this time frame cutting it too close? I am concerned about having my degree conferred and final transcripts developed. I realize it takes time for my current school to process the grades, documents, etc. as well as the prospective schools to process them if I am admitted. I am definitely considering applying for Spring but I'd like to get some advice as to my current situation.
