What do I do: Summer Internship or 1st year Analyst?

I am in the process of finishing up undergrad. Currently, I have about 4-6 more quarters of school before I can graduate. However, if I choose not to complete my minor, I can finish up in 3 quarters and graduate at the end of this school year in June 2019.

I know it's a lot easier to get into IB through a summer position. Do I go for the summer analyst role this upcoming summer and push graduation off for Fall 2019/Winter 2020 or do I finish up this year and apply as a 1st year analyst.

Also- anybody know the stipulations about student status for these programs?
