Taking an extra semester vs recruiting full time

Hi All,

I’m at a target right now, hopped onto recruiting a bit too late. really want to work in IB, but i also work part time (pay for everything) and need to keep my grades up for scholarships so can’t really miss class. i haven’t had time to prep for techs, it sucks because it’s either i sleep or prep

has anyone taken an extra semester for recruiting? i feel like this is ideal for me because i can use this coming summer to get on top of techs.. i heard recruiting ft is a nightmare

thanks!
