Delaying grad date - good idea?

About to strike out of banking and am considering moving my grad date to Class of '28. Is this a good idea? Or is this nonethical/a horrible idea. Would love to hear from people who've done it/know people who've tried in the past.

I don’t see why would it be unethical, but seems like a massive risk. If you struck out recruiting this year, how do you know next years going to be any different? Could just be wasting 2 semesters of tuition
