Yes, upward trend is always good. But keep in mind that a GPA trend that goes from 4.0 to 4.0 will be perceived better than a trend that goes from 3.2 to 4.0 since it shows academic excellence. So yes, the upward trend helps, but it won’t be a “big” boost. But don’t let discourage you, an increase from 3.2 to 4.0 will surely be noticed!
Your test scores are spot on.
It’s harder to get into Wharton. I don’t think Penn releases school-specific statistics anymore.

If you’re worried you haven’t fulfilled the requirement, feel free to contact the admissions office, they’ll be happy to help (probably after the RD madness though).

Good luck!
