Graduating in 4 years vs graduating in 6 years I'm considering graduating from undergraduate school in 6 years in 2024 to build up my resume and pursue interests for graduate school admissions. I feel that I would not feel ready to attend graduate school if I graduate undergraduate school in 4 years. However, most successful people (past U.S. Presidents, successful scientists, people in high political offices, etc.) have graduated undergrad in 4 years. I've no idea what to do.
From the point of view of a graduate admissions committee*, the undergraduate degree is just one step in the sequence:


elementary school
middle school
high school
undergraduate
graduate
postdoc
tenure-track
associate prof.
prof.
named professorship
chair, dean, provost, chancellor, ...


*although they'll realize that many applicants will want to stop going down this list after the graduate degree.

It's okay to take extra time in any of these, but it does delay moving on to the next one.
