First I agree with: consistent strong gpa > upward trend > downward trend.

Second, your background is your background. Be proud of it and don’t over-analyze what it does for your chances.

As for a low grade like chem, look at why you did not do as well and what you learned. How did you apply those lessons to get on your upward trend? Think about how you can express that in your application.

By the way, conratualtions on your accomplishments.
