    2 low points in GPA with upward trend at the end

    Not sure how to approach doing a DIY postbacc, SMP, or applying 2025 I feel like having one low dip in your GPA is a red flag, so I was wondering how screwed I would be with 2 dips. The first GPA dip occurred while taking dual credit classes in high school (didn't really take school seriously...

    cGPA vs sGPA

    Is it bad that my sGPA is almost .2 higher than my cGPA? For reference, my sGPA is a 3.71 and my cGPA is a 3.55. However, I have strong upward trend from 3.4/3.6/4.0 in increasingly harder classes (ex: Orgo). Does this look okay to adcoms?
