Recruiting FT Twice - looks bad?

Would it be looked down upon to stay in school an extra fall semester just to go through FT recruiting again if you didnt get what you wanted the first time around? It would give you an extra summer internship under you belt compared to the next round of students you'd be competing against.

 

you have to do something super interesting, some good classes and maybe some charity work. otherwise you will just look like a loser

 

For financial reasons I wouldnt pursue a full one-year masters program, but instead finish up a second bachelors degree in that one extra semester. I don't see why the banks would care, if it shows that you are really going after what you want.

Of course, this all implies getting a meaningful internship that summer, and not lounging around wasting time waiting for the fall to come around.

 

what's everybody's take on playing the right story? what exactly would an acceptable story be? It looks pretty clear for someone with a regular 4 year degree extending a "masters" or an extra semester is just trying for Fall recruitment again.
