Wait for higher GPA after semester to start emailing boutiques?

I am currently a sophomore at a Target and have been emailing a bunch of no-name boutiques, but my GPA is pretty low (3.3). The ones that have asked for a resume have all never got back to me, and I think the 3.3 is sort of immediately a red flag. I got my shit together and am getting straight As this semester and will have a 3.6 by the end of the term. Im wondering if it is better to wait until a month from now to continue emailing boutiques so they can see a higher GPA. It seems like a lot of them do their recruiting in December/January, so I don't think I would really be giving up a lot of opportunities. Can anyone offer any advice here as to whether I should wait a month for my semester grades or just continue sending emails now? Thanks in advance for the help. Hopefully I can pay it back some day.
