Should I apply for this internship now or later?

Hello,

Theres a summer internship (for next year) that I want to apply for and the deadline is late November. Of course I could apply now, but I know that in a few months I could add things/skills to my resume that'll make it look better than right now.

Is there a benefit to applying for internship earlier? Or could I just wait to apply in November with the peace of mind that I'll get the same look as I would if I were to apply now?
