Does the Midterm Report Help?

Hi! I am a current sophomore, applying as a junior transfer. Currently, I am at a US News and World Report Top 25 College, and am applying to NYU, Columbia, UPenn, Duke and Dartmouth. I got a 3.6 GPA last year; however, I got a 3.95 this past semester, making my overall GPA a 3.7. My midterm GPA for this semester will probably be either a 3.9 or 4.0. So my question is how much will this high midterm GPA help, if at all?

Very much. Send it.
