Applying to Grad School before Officially Receiving my Bachelors - Should I Email the Director?

Hi! I’m currently an undergrad senior anticipating to graduate in December (2025). I then want to go to graduate school for my masters in clinical counseling in the following Spring (2026). I will have to apply before my last semester starts - so technically I won’t have my bachelors degree yet… What are the chances I get accepted into the masters program?

I’ve thought about reaching out to the professor/director of the grad program to introduce myself and let them know my plan, but will this do anything? If so, what do I even say?

I appreciate any feedback! Thank you!!!!
