Does this count as a downward trend?

Ok y'all, don't yell at me for this one, I swear I'm not trying to be neurotic I just genuinely don't know.

I'm a senior in undergrad and have a really strong upward trend and a cGPA ~3.6 (many many Ws and one F in a prereq during the first year and a half of college ---> 4.0 both semesters last year and this summer).

I'm most likely going to end up in the 3.85-3.9 range this semester (mostly 4.0s, one or two 3.7s).

For most people I don't believe this would be an issue? I just wonder if it would be for me because technically it is a downward trend, and I may be scrutinized more intensely because of my atrocious first few semesters.

For AMCAS, GPAs are displayed year by year, not term by term, so most likely, your senior year GPA will include that 4.0 for the summer before senior year, the 3.85-3.9 for this term, and whatever you earn in the spring. If your GPA in the spring is in the range you've projected for this term, your senior year calculation would not be viewed as representing "a downward trend."
