Have the option to graduate college at 19. Yes or no?
I’m a senior in high school going to a semi-target in the fall (think Tepper, Kelley DA, Kenan-Flagler etc.). With the credits I have accumulated in high school. I can graduate from the university I’m attending in fall in 2 years. My only concern is that my chances of breaking in could be significantly lower.
The options are as follows: - Graduate in 2 years, at 19 with a BS in finance from a semi target - Graduate in 4 years with BS in Comp Sci and a BS in finance - Graduate in 4 years with a BS in finance and an MBA from a semi target.
Would anyone be able to offer any advice, maybe some personal experience with having the option to graduate early?
BS in CS & Finance imo. Graduating at 19 is way too early and getting an MBA straight after UG makes 0 sense.
double major is the only thing that makes sense imo. I suggest you take mostly finance classes though as a freshman so your GPA is high for recruiting in sophomore year.
Would you say CS is the best bet for a second major?
By a mile.
Do not get a MBA immediately after undergrad, it gives you none of the benefits and is very strongly looked down upon. Just search up any of the threads on it.
If you graduate in two years you effectively can not break in, because recruiting happens 1.5 years ahead (recruit for junior year summer internship during sophomore winter-spring). If you do that, then by the time you get to the school then the BB/EB recruiting window for SA will have already passed.
Double major is best. with all the credits you have, you can create another version of ur resume with an expected graduation 2 years ahead and apply to non-high finance jobs that normally would auto reject freshmen.
Congrats on Kelley btw!
