GPA Likely To Increase - Submit Applications Now or Wait?

Firms such as lazard, hl, pwp, rothschild, m klein, gtcr, insight, and more have already opened their applications for SA 26 (their interviews will begin in early to mid January)

i'm anticipating that after this past semester's grades go in, my gpa will go from a 3.7 to a 3.8 (soph at a target think wharton/harvard/stern)

ik this may sound a bit ridiculous but i've been told that these 2 gpa's are vastly different - is it worth waiting till these grades are released (within a wk hopefully) or are these applications rolling and i should submit asap?
