My GPA has had a pretty extreme upward trend: 3.44 Freshman Year, 3.78 Sophomore Year, 4.00 Junior Year. Just wondering will that give me any sort of boost in my cycle, or will my 3.71 LSDAS be all that matters?

THanks

An upward trend is better than a downward trend, but your 3.71 LSDAS is what counts.

An upward trend is better. Just keep doing well and I'm sure you'll be fine.

Also, will LSAC review an updated transcript if someone decides to wait an extra year to apply to ls?

I believe they will unless it's a graduate school transcript.

if the transcript is from the same school, then they will update it.

Ok excellent, thanks. Anyone know if there's a thread for people who have decided to wait until next cycle?

there probably isnt one, since this cycle is relatively fresh and new. Im sure there are plenty of people on here that are waiting for next cycle.

Alright, thanks.

FWIW, that's not really an extreme upward trend. It goes up but, come on. That's like going from something like 2 Bs, 1 B, and no B. Better than the downward trend, but really unremarkable as far as upward trends go.

That said, your UGPA is good by itself for many places.
