What now? Couldn't defer BB IB offer/lost FT offer

Long story short, interned at top 3 NYC bank as sophomore and junior, secured full time offer in industry coverage group, couldn't graduate on time (had one semester left) and was denied offer deferral. How do other banks view such a progression? I got the return offer, but f'd up my graduation timeline. What would you do? My ego is bruised, lol.
