<p>Does it have any significance if your gpa is supposedely 3.1,3.5,4.0 for the 1st three semesters rather than a constant 3.5? Do colleges look at this upward trend or does it not make a difference?</p>
<p>I've heard trends like this are helpful in being admitted. In any case, it certainly won't hurt you.</p>
<p>Depends on the college! Most like upward grade trends though; some emphasize it more than others.</p>
