<p>If I have a lower than average GPA of a typical attendee of a university, should I wait for my 7th semester GPA to bump up my cumulative? </p>
<p>Right now if I applied early action, I would have a 3.69 UW GPA</p>
<p>But if I applied regular decision, I would have a 3.73 GPA.</p>
<p>Also, does upward trend have a significant influence on the admission process?</p>
