Applying early vs. Last minute

Is there any benefit to applying as early as possible for regular decision? I’ve seen some people say that it’s better to get your application in early so that there are plenty of spots available and so that you get fully considered for financial aid. The problem is, I was hoping to wait until the end of first semester senior year to apply to boost my gpa a little and give time to retake the ACT if necessary. First semester ends in December, though, so it would be cutting it fairly close to applications’ deadlines.
Any advice would be much appreciated
