How good does an upward trend look

<p>I think an upward trend always looks good to any school, especially if it’s more than .1 or .2 points like yours. obviously a very high and constant GPA also looks good, but that’s not realistic for everyone. I think an upward trend looks good because it means that as you moved up in grades aka got harder and harder course work your grades actually improved. obviously that’s not the only thing they will look at in your application but even if it doesn’t help much it won’t do any harm</p>
