To Graduate Early from Non-Target
I'm in a sticky situation, any input is great.
I’m a 2nd year student from a non-target with a below average 3.4 GPA (on course to be 3.5 by the end of the quarter). I am a eligible to graduate this June with all my AP’s and CC units that transferred with me (so think of me as a transfer student that can stay 4 years if I want to).
I’ve interned for a small Financial Advisory firm for the last 6 months and was close to getting a summer gig for a small local boutique IB shop, but they gave me an off-cycle internship instead. Now I’m dead in the water without any solid leads for this summer.
Should I stay in school and apply to SA 2020 gigs with the advisory and local boutique IB internship as my “sophomore internships” and stay another year and a half? Or simply graduate early in June as a sophomore and apply to full-time positions with those two internships as my main experience.
Main concern is obviously the cost of going to school since I don’t get financial aid and would have to take more loans out to pay for it all. I also chose easy classes next quarter to potentially finish off with a 3.6 GPA. Still not NEARLY as good as it should be, but by staying an extra time I’d risk potentially dropping to a 3.5 again and being even less competitive if I stay. School is as non-target as it gets so a further drop in GPA would eliminate large chance of getting an SA gig at a better shop.
Open to any advice.
