Spoke recently with my advisor, I can graduate on time while taking very little credits (3-6) due to significant AP in high school. However I can’t graduate early given IB recruiting timelines and I’ve got an SA role in NYC this summer.
Will the bank look down on taking a gap semester or very low credits this sem as long as I graduate on time?
