sophomore year internships?

I was wondering when people apply for sophomore year internships, such as the bp sophomore trading experience or others like that? I have a lackluster GPA (3.2 -3.3) and want to get it up with the first semester of my sophomore year. Will I have enough time to get my grades up and then apply for those sophomore internships? Thanks

The Sophomore Cycle js getting more and more accelerated. When I was applying for a Sophomore internship it was around July / August of last year so ~ 10 months in advance.

Recently however, I was helping someone and giving them tips about getting the same internship I got and he was interviewing and got an offer in March, so a full year ahead. Can’t imagine it getting more accelerated than that but who knows tbh.
