Straight out of undergrad- date of graduation a problem?

[Pt.r]

Hi,

I'm applying for MPP programs this year, most of which begin late August - early September. By that time I will have finished my B.A. However, universities where I come from take a few week to, what they call here, "close the degree", and grant you a diploma. So I'll only receive my official degree transcripts in late September.

Do you think this might pose a problem, or will schools be tolerant as I'll have completed my undergraduate duties?

As long as you graduate before you start your MPP program, I think it'll be fine. However, you are much better off asking the individual institutions you're applying to rather than our speculative bunch. =)

I started my PhD in September but the degree did not get conferred until November. My school gave me until December to provide the diploma.
