GPA trends when applying for Grad school


Question

Posted

Hi, I was wondering how important gpa trends are for applying to grad school. I did not do well my first couple years in undergrad. I got a 3.0, 2.5, and 2.3. Second semester sophomore I worked my butt off (I was in organic chemistry that year) and got a 3.3. For me that was dramatically better than the semester before. This semester isnt quite finished but close and I am looking at getting almost all A's (especially in my upper level bios) and if Im unlucky maybe a B+ in one class. If I continue this trend, how will this look on a Grad school application? Im doing a million times better and Im taking hard classes such as microbiology and virology. 

I appreciate the input, thankyou.

Most schools will allow a spot to address inconsistencies in your academics. Your GPA is only one aspect of the application, but it's still important. So, just keep working to get it up.
