Waiting until Spring semester to apply to Boutique IBs

Hey guys, I am a rising sophomore with a 3.0 GPA. I am hoping to get my GPA up this semester (obviously not a ridiculous amount, but something), and I am wondering if anyone has input on whether or not I will fall behind the ball if I wait to apply to boutiques until spring. I know BB applications are open now, and I do not want to be left in the dust by waiting. I am more interested in applying to MM/Boutiques given my school and GPA. Thanks!
