Expected vs. Actual GPA

Hello, I am looking to break into investment banking or sales and trading, haven't decided yet. Last semester I went through pledging and it messed up my GPA quite a bit. I went from a 3.7 to a 3.0 (fuck me right?) I have two internships and some extracurriculars, but since I will be applying for internships pretty soon and won't have another semester under my belt to pad my GPA more, should I put my actual or expected GPA on my resume when applying? I don't want to lie about my credentials, but I also want to get a chance for an interview before being filtered out.
