Best time to drop resume?

The big banks on my target school's on campus recruiting website are now accepting resumes for summer internships. The website states that they are accepting them from early November through early January. Does dropping my banking resume early (i.e. now or very soon) give me any type of advantage? I was thinking that I would until the end of the semester to get an idea if this semester would raise or lower my gpa and then drop either in early December or late December depending on the grades I think that I am going to get. Any advice?

when its ready. don't drop it prematurely just because the submission period opens up. have plenty of ppl look at it, professors, upper classmen, analysts, summers, VPs, MDs, Dosk, WSO users...whoever might be experienced with it.

just make sure u get it in before it closes. btw, start networking now, go to all the presentations and make sure to introduce urself to everyone there, wait in line, get the card, etc.
