No one can tell you what your chances are. What is your focus? What are your research interests? A well-developed and thoughtful Statement of Purpose can go a long way.

However, many schools have a minimum GPA requirement. I don't know what scale your GPA is on, but if it is on a 4-point scale, it is weak. Can you explain it? Is the GPA in your major higher? Did you take extraordinarily challenging courses?

In my opinion, you need to retake the GRE.

Tailor every one of your applications to the department you're applying to - don't just send out a blanket application. Research the school and department first, make sure it's a good fit, then make an argument for why they should take you.
