Hello, I am in a UK master’s program and the program officially ends in September. However, most Ph.D programs I’m applying to requires a master’s transcript, but my school only provides them at the end of the program. The dilemma is that the Ph.D program starts in September, but I won’t know if I have graduated nor my transcript until then. Do Ph.D programs normally look at the masters’ transcript? Also, is better to take a gap year?
