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?
