how impressive is a upward trend? chaces at UVA and VT

<p>hey guys summer is here and im done with my junior year..BUT..i do have one nagging question. My GPA is on the low side with a 3.68 UW but my GPA has increased significantly each year: Freshman (3.33) Sophomore (3.71 UW with 2 AP's) Junior (4.0 UW with 4'APs). My SAT score was 2000 and i am instate.</p>

<p>So my questions are, is the upward trend going to help me and what are my chances for UVA and VT? remember i am instate</p>

<p>thanks i will chance back</p>

<p>depends on SAT’s and EC’s really. With those grades though, I’d say you are a safe bet for Tech. Need more info to know for UVA</p>

<p>agree with newsome17. VT is a definite safety for you since they are a numbers school and your IS. UVA would depend on if your NOVA, or rural VA, and what your EC’s, SAT II’s, rec’s (might look like), and any volunteering</p>

<p>the upward trend should look good though.</p>

<p>I’ve heard colleges usually look at upward trend as a very positively, so I think that it would help</p>
