Chicago/NYC IB in 3 Years of College

Hi Everyone,

Considering graduating in 3 years as I really want to just major in finance and I don't want my last year to be a repeat of senior year of HS where I was just very bored and lost, and would rather spend that year learning on a job. For context, I will be attending ND this fall.

Chicago IB mainly is my goal and NYC too 

Would love to hear from anyone who’s taken this route or has insight, especially around how it plays with recruiting timelines and how it’s perceived by firms. If this is doable in anyway w/o significantly hurting me would love to hear about it, thanks!
