So my GPA is not doing me any favors when it comes to getting into my top choices. However, I do have a very significant uptrend. I started at a 2.6 and never dropped below a 3.7 during my last 4 semesters. Is this something law schools actually take into account? I've received conflicting information on this matter.

    I agree with the above. At the end of the day, your number is your number and that's what they report for rankings, but between two 3.25s the one with the upward trend is better than one who flatlined

    They look at your transcript. So an upward trend is better than consistently performing at a low level. But they certainty aren't going to treat you the same as someone else that held a consistently high GPA.
