Upward trend in GPA

My gpa will have an upward trend of .05 this year, from a 4.19 to a 4.24 (Weighted GPA out of 5).

Is that a good upward trend for my GPA, I am a consistent B student because I screw up tests and quizzes. I hope to attend UMass Amherst, Northeastern, BU, WPI, RPI, Wisconsin?

You are in good shape for UMass. Northeastern, BU, RPI and WPI will be stretches. But you have a chance

That’s a very respectable GPA trend! It will only help you, not hurt you.
