I was going to write that you had a decent chance, other than your GPA being a little low(I’m also assuming the sat is out of 1600, not quite sure how the new one works) . However that trend of grades getting worse is a little worrying. You’re going to either have to explain that somehow in an essay or somewhere on the common app. Colleges tend to like to see the opposite trend to show improvement. This isn’t to say you’ll be outright denied but it will definitely throw a red flag when they review your application.
