Question about upward trend in GPA

<p>Hi, my gpa is a bit low right now for the schools i want to go to. (3.55) But I have a fantastic upward tend. Freshman year i got a 3.24. Soph year i got a 3.48. Junior year I got a 3.95. I was wondering if having a great upward trend like mine can make the difference. Im hoping my junior year GPA will be the representative of my work ethic rather than my overall GPA because freshman year I had no idea about the importance of high school and therefore didnt try very hard. I started to realize about halfway through sophmore year. My weighted gpa is 4.2 if you were wondering and my number one choice of school is university of wisconsin. THANKS!</p>

<p>An upward trend is good. Colleges like it. Keep it up.</p>
