well, your chances of getting into a good university or college depends on

what you consider a good school (like HYPS or UCs)

what kind of schools you want to get into

your extracurriculars (can compensate for GPA)

your essays (again, they can compensate for GPA)

test scores (can somewhat compensate for GPA)

the difficulty of courses (are you taking the hardest courses available? all honors and AP?)

whether or not you have any hooks (URM, financial aid, etc)

schools like to see an upward trend in grades. it is odd that your GPA went down, instead of up. try to get it up really high this semester to compensate for your low grades in the first semester, and make sure to get even higher grades junior year (the most important year)! gl!
