GPA during networking

I had a pretty bad gpa first semester freshman year (3.3, was an engineering major) and will have recovered to a 3.65 after this semester, second semester freshman year. I should have around a 3.8 after first semester sophomore year.

I was wondering if my 3.65 gpa that will be on my resume for first semester networking is going to harm me. Should I just leave GPA out until I submit my actual application (next January) when I would have a higher gpa?

I go to a lower-target/high semi and am trying to get into IB or sales and trading. I’ll have an internship at a small hedge fund this summer.

Thank you for any help! I’m just trying to plan in advance a bit.
