Solid advice has been given above!
I would also like to mention if you are studying something that is extremely difficult and known to be a rigorous major (i.e chemical engineering, pre-med etc.) I would mention this as well in your letter. It makes a big difference to see a young woman improve her GPA in any major, but it is harder to do so when you are taking challenging entry level courses to certain rigorous degree programs.
Back in the day, we did compare GPAs of young women and looked at what their majors were. For ex: a 2.75-3.0 collegiate GPA weighed nicely for a chemical engineering major vs a 3.25 for someone in an undergrad degree program which was known to be less challenging.
