<p>SAT is within middle 50% range. My understanding of grade equivalencies is that you have essentially two years which would be like getting A+'s in the US and a third which is in the B to B+ range. Thus grades as a whole are still well within middle 50% range but the downward trend is what could hurt you since you will be competing with other internationals who do not show a downward trend. Nevertheless, you still have a decent chance. Essays need to be good. Do you have any science ECs, which could help.</p>

<p>I had almost similar grades, and I got in.I’m from india and got 79% class 10 (ICSE), and did worse than you in class 11. SAT 2050. I know a lot internationals who did worse but still got in. I wouldn’t really worry if i were you.</p>
