You aren't the first K-JD whose graduating quickly so I doubt it will have much if any effect.

This. No one cares about graduating early. Though it may be somewhat of a disadvantage at OCI. No need to cross that bridge now though

If we told you it will drastically change your chances would you do anything different?

Your cycle should be identical to anyone with your numbers. Why not take advantage of graduating early by working for a year?

well in (1) I can't do anything.
But in (2) I can wait for the 6th semester to appear, even if they don't count (because abroad).
Just to be clear, I'm not graduating early. I'm graduating on time but when I apply this fall as a senior, I will have only 5 or 6 semesters.
That's what graduating early means....

I will graduate in 8 semesters. But at the time I apply, I will have only 6 semesters of grades, only 5 of which will count toward my LSDAS gpa. Or else I'll have only 5 semesters of grades because the 6th won't appear yet.
Your case is not unique. Every K-JD has 5-6 semesters of grades when they apply. No one cares

There is absolutely no data on this specific niche but all data relating to this subject tells us that there is no difference between 5 and 6 semesters.
As with all people who are K-JD, especially those who graduate early, you will likely find a particular importance placed on your answer to Why law?

This is the position that most k-jds are in. I will apply with only 4 semesters of grades and I have been told that it won't hurt me. You'll be fine.
