<p>Im a math major. I came to university with 27 credits from AP/IB classes. I have taken summer classes, as well as always taking 16-credit semester load. I have planned it all out and from what I can see, im going to graduate in 3 years with a math major and a minor in computer science.</p>
<p>From a personal point of view, it looks good since i will be graduating one year earlier but I have read (dont remember where) that actually graduating early is not that good and graduate school dont like it. </p>
<p>So my question is, given that in 3 years I can graduate with a math major and a minor in computer science. Should I just go on to apply to grad school or for some reason (which?) should I stay one more year and use that year to take more math classes (most of them at the grad level by then).</p>
<p>?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>If you want to go for grad school, stay on for your fourth year and take grad-level courses. It would certainly boost your chances having shown that you're capable of handling graduate level courses. I would talk to your department. Maybe they can offer some kind of deal with you- a 5 year BA/MS program or early admission to their MS program.</p>
<p>People graduate early solely for financial needs but if you don't have any financial issues, I woudl stay on.</p>
<p>Thanks for response.</p>
<p>I talked to one of my Professors and I posed the same question.</p>
<p>This was my Professor for a proof class in which I aced all his tests and he holds a very good opinion of me (so maybe his opinion is biased because of this?). Anyways, he told me that the standard 4 years to graduate doesnt really have to be a standard, he told me that all students are different and theres no reason for everyone to follow the same "path". He told me he did his Undergrad in England which it is just 3 years and that he doesnt see any problem in me graduating in 3 years.</p>
<p>Im still unsure what to do...</p>
<p>Yeah except the British university system is actually 3 years- you're expected to attend the uni knowing EXACTLY what you want to major in. You could try out some grad courses in your junior year to see if you're over the top of your head. There, you can decide what you want to do.</p>
