Resume Grad Date — 2027 vs 2028?

I’m in my second year at a non-target (academic junior because of AP/transfer credit). On track to graduate in 2027 (early), but I may graduate in 2028 depending on how I pace my coursework.

I had an AWM internship the summer before freshman year and have already applied to some internships as a 2027 grad

Should I keep listing 2027, or use 2028 to better align with IB recruiting? And will it cause issues if some applications say 2027 and others say 2028?

Yes, duh. Friend of mine got rejected for that, exact same situation but from an ivy.
