Hello! I was just curious...what would admissions commitees rather see: an exceptionally high gpa, or one that shows a strong upward trend? Thanks in advance!
Ideally both, but when does one outweigh the other?Both.
well....if I told you it's better to have a high upward trend, would you intentionally tank your GPA so you could eventually raise it?
Probably not. Just do as well as you can. Having a solid, consistent GPA is nice but so is showing the ability to overcome challenges and learn from your mistakes
Either is fine, for the most part. As a teaching moment, it's a pre-med delusion that all Adcoms want to see the former. But also keep in mind that the Really Top Schools have many, many applicants who had straight A's across the board, so they can ignore the latter.Hello!

So are you saying there are adcoms that don't want to see high grades throughout college and would prefer you to start low and get higher over time?
I'm trying to say this in the nicest possible way, but if you haven't taken the MCAT yet, do watch out for the CARS section, because I said nothing of the sort.So are you saying there are adcoms that don't want to see high grades throughout college and would prefer you to start low and get higher over time?
