To apply EA or not to apply EA, that is the question

Applying to College Early Decision / Early Action

Hello. I am applying to uTampa and other Florida schools and wondering whether to wait for RD or apply EA.

Currently my GPA is 3.07/3.32 (using 1 for AP and .5 for Honors) with a significant upward trend Junior year. My SAT is 1240.

If I wait for RD, my stats would be like 3.3/3.5 and hopefully an SAT score in the 1300’s.

Is it worth it to wait to apply to boost stats?

Would you confirm with your high school what gets sent and by when? Assuming we are talking about mid-year, I would wait for RD.
