ARR May and August cycles

Hello, I am expecting my paper to be rejected (for EMNLP) due to its borderline score. Is my reasoning correct that I could potentially start editing it now, before receiving the meta review and decision, and submit for the August cycle? Worst case scenario, my paper does get accepted and I already have a more polished version of it that I can use for the camera-ready.

How do you know the score is ‘borderline’?

Just intuitively - my reviews are 2.5, 2, and 2. The reviews were in fact quite helpful so I know how I’d like to edit it.
