Upward Trend of GPA??

thinklikealawyer

Hi all,

I'm writing because I am curious if anyone knows whether law schools care to see an upward trend in undergraduate GPA. My first two years were tough and I spent my later years working hard to earn mostly A's and a few B's just to raise my GPA. My final GPA is a 3.05. I am dedicated to law school and want to showcase my growth as a student and as an individual. I sat down with one of my recommenders and he said that he would like to touch on the financial issues I had as a young college student that affected my grades during the first two years. I am wondering if that is enough, or if I should touch on it in my personal statement, or write an addendum to bring light to the upward trend. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!
