Ok, so there is this special program called the Academy of Finance at my school. To get in, I have to take a bunch of regular 4.0 business electives, but if I do take the courses, I get a summer internship to a prestigious company and Co-Op in my senior year. However, it will lower my GPA significantly and my chances of becoming valedictorian or saluatorian will be ruined.But, there is a cool summer internship that goes with it and that experience is something unique to put on a resume. Or, should I forget about the Academy of Finance and just take a few business electives here and there?
