I’m sorry but even as an in-state, there’s almost no way you can get in and that’s not the record of a rising senior

Class Rank and GPA are on the low side…your SAT would be fine with better class rank and GPA and the declining GPA will probably be an issue as well.

Write great essays and get great LORs and hope that the holistic admissions process works in your behalf.

I’m guessing 50/50 chance if you can strengthen the app with your essays and LORs.

@franckherve1, wow, how discouraging…

anyway, your gpa is a bit low. i agree with edad, you would have a 50% chance.

Bring your GPA up, stop getting Cs in AP classes, and pray that you write a brilliant essay, because that’s the only way you’ll have a shot.
