Research PI (also taught 1 science class) - letter will likely be based on their role as...

Would this be considered a downward trend?
Hello, I am a little concerned over my science gpa trend. Freshmen 2.21, sophomore 3.24, Junior 3.70, Senior 3.60, Post-bacc 3.53. sGPA 3.2 and cGPA 3.27. Would this be a downward trend? I am currently studying for the mcat, and I got a 497 on my diagnostics. I have over 1000 hrs non clinical experience and 700 hrs clinical experience at the moment. My hope is to apply this upcoming cycle. I’m only aiming for DO schools, not because of my low gpa. Another thing, I’m taking bioinformatics at...
