(Texas) GPA trend mainly in the last 2 years

[Maria_L]

Hi guys!

I would appreciate any input on how my GPA trends look. I'm studying for the MCAT to take it in about 5ish months to be ready to apply to only Texas schools. I am confident in all the other areas of my application, but my GPA is my weakest area.

Past & Current ECs include:

Cumulative GPA

	Semester Hours	GPA by Year	GPA changes over time
Freshman	25	3.24	3.24
Sophomore	33	3.21	3.22
Junior	30	3.33	3.26
Senior	29	3.76	3.38
5th year at undergrad	24	3.88	3.47 = Final Overall

Science GPA

	Semester Hours	sGPA by Year	sGPA changes over time
Freshman	18	2.94	2.94
Sophomore	22	3.09	3.03
Junior	17	3.00	3.02
Senior	13	3.46	3.10
5th year at undergrad	14	3.79	3.21 = Final Overall

I honestly worry looking at my overall science and cumulative GPAs because that will be the first thing they see and will likely be unimpressed even if my application is awesome in other places :/ In Texas a lot of the median cumulative GPAs are in the 3.8-3.9 so when I look at the MSAR it is really discouraging. I have gotten all As except for a B every semester since the start of Senior year.

I believe I responded to a comment by you on a different post.

I believe that your upward trend is fine. To make you feel better, my cGPA and sGPA were under a 3.0 when I finished after a two year upward trend.
So just speaking in terms of your upward trend, I think its fine.
