I recently transferred to a new university, and realized upon registering for classes that I only have about 42 credits left. If I took summer courses, I could finish a semester to a year early without overworking myself. If I wanted to stay for my senior year, I would seriously have to stretch out my course load somehow, plus it would cost me $24,500 in private loans. However, I am going into my junior year and only turning 20 in August, so saying I graduated over summer I would graduate college at 20 years old. Is this a bad idea? I am getting a degree in Cell Biology and Neuroscience from Rutgers University. My previous college was the University of Central Florida, and I left there with a 3.45 GPA and about a 3.2 science GPA while taking 17 credits. I also have many campus leadership and participation activities, and I am starting shadowing tomorrow. Would graduating early increase, decrease, or not affect my chances?
If I wanted to stay I could do an honors research track, or pick up a minor, or take 12 credits at a time, but it would cost so much money.
If I graduated early, I could potentially build up my shadowing or work opportunities.
Is a Cell Biology and Neuroscience degree sufficient without the honors research addition?
Thanks
