Upward trend? Hmmm....

How do your classes even work? @-)

My understanding of an upward trend is that throughout four years of high school the grades rise steadily while course levels do as well (like going from a regular to an honors or AP.) I don’t think the grades you described are an upward trend because of the dip they took.

Nevertheless, an upward trend is not absolutely required for getting into college. There are still many other things that are important to the application, so don’t worry too hard!
