Grade Trend
I know that colleges value an upward trend in grades getting better throughout your years, but how would having a high GPA freshman year, low sophomore year, and high junior and senior year effect admissions? (besides the obvious GPA drop from the low sophomore year)

I think colleges would view it the same as an upward trend because although there's really no upward trend but you have a consistency in your grades. You would just need a valid reason to why there was a drop in sophomore year. So I say there's no need to worry unless your grades was really low sophomore year and you don't have a valid reason to why but otherwise I think you are fine.
