I have a 3.8 gpa currently. This is mostly due to my poor freshman year though where i only had about a 3.5. Ever since I have almost a 4.0. Do law schools account for an upward trend in your grades?

It will be looked at as a soft factor, which means it could be a tie breaker if you are up against a student with similar numbers.
