Grade trend - just curious..

So I've read a lot on here about an upward trend in grades blah blah, this ones a little different:

I'm currently a junior bio major. Freshman year I took Calc 1 & 2 and got a C+ and B+ respectively. Calc 1 just slipped away from me on the final but Calc 2 I really did my best (2nd highest grade in the class he only gave 1 A). This semester I took Stat 515.. I had an A by about 0.5 points before the exam this morning and I'm not feeling too confident about it after taking it. Theres still a slim chance of an A, but more than likely it'll be a B+.

Outside of these three math classes I have a 4.0 (cGPA 3.88). I actually like math and I've always been pretty decent at it, I'm just not sure why I havent been able to finish the As. My question is - do you think this shows the admissions committee anything? Honestly, I'm not too worried about it but I am curious if they look for trends like this. For example, does me getting As in all of my classes but math related ones show a certain learning style or thought process?

Thanks!

You're over thinking this bro, especially with your GPA.

I tried to make it clear in the original post but I'm definitely not worried about it. Its in the past anyways so its not like I could even change it. I was just wondering if anyone had come across any interesting information that they'd like to share. Just my curiosity getting the best of me..

You lack abstract thinking abilities.... Maybe.

Try not to rake in any more Cs and I think you'll be fine. Adcoms understand you're a human being. If they have that complex of a method for interpreting class trends, I would be a little taken back...

I got asked about a B+ in a class (jokingly) on an interview. I think he just asked to see how I would react lol. B+ doesn't mean you're lacking in something. Chill.
