Drop in grades?

Hi TLS...
I'm a rising Junior whose just finished my second year of college. I originally attended an unknown state school my freshman year (maintained a 4.0 both semesters), but transferred to a top 20 my second year. My first semester at my new institution was a little rough and I ended up dropping a class and getting a B- in another, although I aced the others (3.567 GPA overall). My second semester, however, went a lot better and I managed to finish with a strong 3.85. My GPA at my new institution is now a 3.71 if calculated by LSAC and my overall GPA between all institutions is most likely between a high 3.8 and low 3.9. I know UG prestige doesn't matter, but I was wondering if my drop in GPA from my old institution (at a 4.0) would raise an eyebrow when compared to the overall GPA at my new one (at a 3.7), considering the increase in difficulty?
