graduating on time

I am going to be doing a double major in finance and economics. If I want to, I can still graduate in 4 years. Would companies care if I took an extra semester or year to graduate? I am currently a junior right now, but if I decided to stay a semester longer would I be able to apply next summer again for summer internships?

guyjerYou can do it. I have a friend who went to a BB in January. He just started late so his bonus will be stub.
But then how does his training work? I'm considering doing this because I have the great opportunity to teach in another country for the summer-but I wont be back until mid-august. However, I would be forced to miss training. I just found this out, so the bank wasnt aware of this before they extended by offer.
