Delaying Graduation and Double Majoring for Better IB Opportunists
Hey everyone,
Currently I am attending a non target SEC school majoring in Economics as a rising junior. I really did not have a vision regarding my career ambitions the first two years of college because of a side business that I have been running. This caused my GPA to dip around the 3.6 range which does not seem good enough for IB considerations. I am late to the game as most BB's are starting to finish up their 2019 SA interviews as well. An adviser told me that delaying graduation a semester would allow me to classify as a "rising sophomore" and be able to apply for 2020 SA interviews. That being said I am ahead of schedule for graduation and by delaying it I would basically do nothing that last semester. I was thinking of picking up a double major in Finance to fill that time as it could be a GPA booster (extra classes) and it is relevant to the work I desire. I am curious if this approach is a decent option to improving my resume? I could major in another topic I just doubt double majoring in a hard topic while running a business would work out well.
ANY suggestions are appreciated.
Dude to be quite honest with you, I've seen kids on here claim to have Big 4 internships DURING HIGH SCHOOL. I don't know how the fuck they do it, just today someone told me they are doing valuations at a big4 firm the summer BEFORE COLLEGE. So part of me thinks you're overthinking it.
Then again, there are people on here saying you can't get some jobs without a 5.6 GPA from HBS and 46 years of IB experience by your 20th birthday. So I don't fucking know lmao.
