<Lying About Graduation to Be Able To Recruit for Summer '23>

I'm a rising senior at a non-target who's late to IB recruiting and only have a PE/search fund and mezzanine internship under my belt. I would like to have the opportunity to interview with any BB/MM/Regional Boutique that is still recruiting for a SA role for next summer instead of full-time. 

Is it okay if I extend my graduation and list on my cv that I'll graduate in December 2023, and once I get an internship offer, I change my graduation date? Can I tell HR I can't afford an extra semester/decided to no longer do a double major? 

Looking forward to your responses!
