Graduate Early or Double Major

Hi everyone! 


I am a current 2nd year student at a large public semi-target/target university (think UMICH/UT/UVA/UNC) who was able to secure a IB SA 2025 offer. As a result, I have the option of graduating a semester early or double majoring in Finance and BA Economics at my school. To double major I would have to take a few summer classes (w/ additional costs for classes and pay rent for another semester, etc). 


As is pretty self explanatory by now - I was wondering what everyone's advice would be in regards to if I should graduate early or try to double major. Would this help me in IB, PE, etc or perhaps a M7 or H/S/W MBA?


Thanks!
