Should I apply to some summer internships?

There are 4-5 science-related internships which I would like to apply to for summer. Most of these require a few things: transcript, resume, teacher rec(s), and essay of why you want to participate.

Unfortunately, though I expect my GPA to go up significantly, it won’t be until after the deadline for these internships. At the moment, my GPA is extremely low (9-12 4.24 W 3.76 UW). However, I (think) I have an impressive resume, and have taken chemistry, biology, AP Chemistry, AP Biology, AP Physics 1, and AP Physics 2 and therefore have considerable lab exposure. Should I still apply to these internships though I have weak grades? I’ll try to get great recs and write great essays…
