I think the steady improvement should look very solid, especially if your recommendations also note your improvement and current maturity.

Also, I’d try to bring up those verbal and writing SATs. If your grades aren’t perfect (and of course not everyone’s are–mine weren’t), it can’t hurt to study up and shine a bit on the standardized tests, particularly since your lower grades were probably in verbal/writing type classes. You have plenty of time to retake, so I don’t see much downside.
