Advice - Graduation

Hello. I am in my senior year of college, and did an SA at an IB but did not get a return offer. I am dealing with some wild out of school adversity, and need to work to help support my family. I was wondering if people would care if I took another semester to graduate? So, I was originally scheduled to graduate May 2024 but instead I'd leaving Dec '24. I've already taken a gap year thanks to COVID, and have a 3.8 and good experience and a network that would almost certainly help me out.

The fact you already took a gap year may raise some eyebrows but you shouldn't worry about it too much if your network will support you. Looking at the bright side, you'll also be eligible for SA2024 and you'll have another chance to get a return offer.
