Yes, you can target December or mid-December application deadlines if you need 3 - 4 months to prepare for the GMAT. The GMAT is offered year-round, so you can choose a test date that ensures your scores are ready in time.
To maximize your chances, plan to take the GMAT by October. This gives you time for a possible retake and to prepare other application materials like essays and recommendations.
