delaying graduation

Hey,

I am currently a sophomore at a NYC non target school with a 3.65 GPA and a couple of finance internships. What's your thoughts of delaying graduation? Because I got interested in IB very last minute and I feel that my chances of landing a offer at a BB are very slim to none as I haven't networked at all and not really a polished candidate in terms of behaviorals/technicals. I am considering delaying graduation by a semester to re-recruit for 2024 cycle.

Has anyone here delayed graduation before? Or do y'all think delaying graduation for a brand name offer is worth it?
