how does increasing GPA trend affect US college admission...??

<p>compared to other years, i did a little bit worse in my freshman year
these are my gpa's so far:
9th: 3.8, 3.85
10th: 3.88, 3.96
11th (it got harder cuz I took 3 IBH 3 IBS subjects) 3.9, 4.0</p>

<p>GPA's out of 4.0 unweighted..</p>

<p>I'm becoming a senior this year and I'm wondering how exactly would this specific gpa
trend affect my college admission.. i wish i could get good feedback with clear history!
Thanks!</p>

<p>The grades look good enough to where they wont hurt you. Take the SATs/ACTs and knock them out of the park.</p>

<p>An upward trend is ALWAYS good</p>
