Top Law Schools

I have a 169 LSAT, that I am hoping to raise to 170-plus by June.............and a sub 3.0 gpa. You hear about people with upward grade trends? Do you think upward trends are given much weight by admissions committees?

If so, would a 3-semester trend of a 4.0, be considered an upward trend OR is it more people that have top grades for 2-3 years that is considered an upward trend? Would you say 3 semesters was sufficient for an upward trend?

Upward trends might mean a teeny, tiny bit of something, but only if all other things are equal. And they never are.

Just focus on your retake and excel there.

No because everyone and their mother has one

I mean it's a good thing yeah but it's not going to overcome a middling overall GPA.

If you're being compared against someone who has the same stats without the upward trend, then it matters. Better than a downward trend. But you're still going to perform at about to your numbers.
