When should I send my transcripts.

I am a sophomore applying to transfer.

I was wondering what would be a good time to send my transcripts?

Someone told me I could wait until the beginning of Spring Semester in order to raise my GPA. It seems kinda like a late time to me though. Right now, I can round off my GPA to a 3.8 and by that time (Spring) the best I can get is probably a 3.9. Is it worth the wait?

Also, I’m trying to major in Creative Writing but the first class I could take for it wasn’t until this semester. So, if I send my transcripts from last year will it look bad that I haven’t taken any Creative Writing classes? As opposed to sending it later, a Creative Writing class would be shown for this fall semester.
