hi all,
I would really like to know how much an upward trend matters, particularly for top tier schools ( columbia, harvard, etc)? Should I even bother applying to these schools with a roughly 3.45 and 40 mcat with an upward trend; I had a 3.15 undergrad but a 3.92 postbac gpa. I also have very strong research ( multiple years with pubs) and strong LORS?
Your clarifications and anecdotes would be appreciated. thank you!
