The only reason that it would matter would be research experience - naturally by graduating sooner, you would have 1 less year to gain that research experience. But in many fields you can get paid research after you graduate with a BA, and this would only matter for PhD programs anyway.

The jobs won’t care - they just want to see that you have a BA. If you get the kinds of experiences they look for (internships, leadership) then you’re golden. And professional master’s programs also will not care.

You won’t be “missing out” on your senior year - your senior year will simply come a year early. It’s not like high school, trust me, especially at a place as large as Emory. There’s no prom, homecoming queen (not in the high school sense anyway), senior prank, etc. College is getting what you came for and getting out. If you can save $60K by graduating a year early…do it!
