u/2O-O2

Has anyone here delayed their graduation by a year for the sake of doing more internships?

I feel like a bit of a failure. I didn't do well enough to get internship offers at any companies I am interested in working long term. So I am leaning towards delaying graduation because I doubt I can get a new grad offer at any of these companies. I hope to try again in the next season.

I know the 'first' of any kind is difficult: first COOP, first COOP in the US, first COOP at a big company, etc. Has anyone been in a similar situation? I plan to use the extra year to become a better candidate >!aka doing Leetcode for real!<
