While it is absolutely true that admissions committees tend to look at "trends," the "downward direction" would probably be important only if the college were fairly competitive, and several applicants had similar GPA's and test scores. In that event, the committee members would very likely award admission to a student who was improving and moving upward, rather than one spiraling toward the bottom. Of course, nobody but a member of the admissions committee can say for sure, but it stands to reason that a person who is "getting better" has a greater likelihood of finishing school and graduating than a person who is "getting worse" and has a good chance of failing out.
