F-1 OPT during the summer between undergrad and grad school?

[ggm]

I am wondering if it is possible to apply for and use an OPT for an internship during the summer between the end of my undergraduate program and my graduate one? I am asking because I think there would be a SEVIS transfer at one point which is supposed to cancel OPT? I have yet to accept an offer so I am not sure when the graduate schools will start the new F-1 visa process.

Here is some information that I think should help: http://internationaloffice.berkeley.edu/students/training/f-1/new_program.

I would recommend you address this question to the office or international students at your current school, to be on the safe side.
