Schools asking for Grade Updates!

Hello everyone!

So I’m a senior attending a very prestigious Chicago high school with questions about grade updates. My college counselor has told me that there’s an extremely high possibility that some of the schools I’ve applied to (Columbia, USC and Wash U) will ask for grade updates over the next couple of weeks. He said that this is because of my extremely great upward trend (like 3.1 GPA for Sophomore year to 3.7 GPA Junior year, currently having a 3.71 senior year). I was wondering does this mean that they are seriously considering me or will have a conversation about me during one of their admissions committee meetings? What would you make of this? My grades right now are straight A’s and one B.

Thanks so much!
