How to redo Spring Cycle as a 2nd Year.

Hi, I only got 2 MM Springs this cycle. I converted both into Summer Internship offers but feel it isn't enough to leverage/compete next year for Summers at a BB/EB (lmk if this is wrong).

I've been thinking of redoing the spring cycle but have been struggling to figure out how to do it uni-wise.

Options feel like Exchange Year (competitive), Masters or Gap Year (undesirable).

Does anyone know any other options than these? Would it be better to do 2 Summer Cycles? Any advice would be appreciated.

GS/EVR take final years that have done a 'lesser' summer the year before. You can also defer your final year exams to the following year (or interrupt/gap year) when the time comes.

 

yea, do the MM summer then apply summer at GS/EVR (EVR also takes full-time analysts).

defer your degree grad date when the time comes so you can reapply to springs now. i.e., instead of gradding at 26 you would grad at 27
