transferring to semi-target with low gpa

i am a freshman who is transferring from a non target to a semi-target. my gpa end of freshman year was pretty low (>3.5). while my new uni resets my gpa, will i have to wait till sophomore fall semester ends to put a gpa on my resume and apply for roles? are there any alternatives since i really need to stack up on experiences before recruiting season starts.
