6 Years to finish undergrad IB recruiting.

Will this have a negative effect on recruiting for SA internships? Assuming a 3.9 or 4.0 G.P.A. The reason for the 5th year is a community college transfer after the first two years and the reason for the 6th is a sudden change in my ability to pay for tuition this semester which forced me to drop all my classes on the first day. 

At what stage did you guys get asked for transcripts while recruiting? Thinking about trying my best to make it look like 4 years since I'll have 4 years at this school now (was still able to take one class this semester so I am still technically enrolled). Thanks for the help.

Currently in a similar situation to yours man. Had to do 3 years at cc and will be doing 3 at my new school double majoring in finance and economics. From what i’ve been told, most people don't care how long it took. You shoudlent have your cc on your resume either. As long as you have a compelling story, demonstrate your drive and determination, maintain a great GPA, get involved in school, and of course network, you’re solid. Good luck on your journey!

Doesn't matter at all. Just keep your grad date not start date on resume.
