Hi, im looking to get into IB. For my 4 year schooling in Finance at rutgers would you guys recommend doubling up on classes or taking some summer and winter classes for extra credit to finish early so I can start working early and save money on college. I have A LOT of free time over the summer and winter. Thanks

Not experienced so take my advice with a grain of salt.
I’d personally say that going for 4 years and getting 3-4 internships is much more valuable than graduating early. You break in because of experience and hopefully a return offer.
If you can get an SA spot going into junior year and convert it after you graduate in 3, good on you. Lot of learning to be doing. Take advantage of what school offers and join relevant clubs and make connections. Just my .02. Also, this shit is fun as fuck, I’m an incoming senior and personally question my friends that pushed so hard to graduate in 3. Enjoy the experience, there isn’t anything like it, especially at a bigger school. You can grind out IB recruiting (I personally didn’t want to) and have a good, fun, 4 years. Good luck
If you are tight on money, then that’s a different story. You’re still paying for credits. Get certification and study techs when you have the time over the winter.
