Disadvantage if applying in December for SA?

Right now I'm planning on applying for SA positions in December (after the Fall semester ends) to be able to boost my GPA from a 3.2 to a 3.4 (after rounding). Would this put me at a disadvantage to those who are applying in September / October? Or do most firms start selecting for interviews after their resume drop deadline?

I understand that some firms like JPM have their deadline at the end of November so of course I'll be applying for that as soon as I can, but for firms that have their deadline at the end of Dec. or middle of January I'm planning on submitting that after Fall grades are out.

I come from a Semi-target with a lot of OCR.

 

depends on the company. Some companies end application submissions in September, some in December, and some in February. It's all relative to the company

 

I guess my actual question is whether every company uses rolling applications for SA or does only Suntrust--or firms that specifically say they use rolling--uses it. For example, I know UBS ends their apps on Feb. 15, but if I submit mine early January, will some spots for SA already be filled up?
