Fall internship: wait to apply for SA?

My resume isn't all that strong in terms of professional experience (at a target school). I'll have an IB internship this fall at a small boutique which should help a lot. Seems like most firms are saying "deadline 9/15 but rolling." Would it be better to apply ASAP? Or wait to start my internship and submit a much stronger resume early-ish September?
