Any good school without a 3?

I don’t have a 3.0. I know, shameful. By the time I graduate, I might, but it’s a really close call. I completely blew off my sophomore year.

I was wondering, I am going to have really good SAT scores (600s, 700s) and I hold three leadership spots in clubs…and plan to hold more. I’m in tons of ECs (track, drama, Junior Classical League, key club, debate, Latin certamen, Gay-Straight Alliance…)

I was wondering if it’s possible to get into any semi-competitive school without a 3. By “semi”…I’m thinking Ithaca College, Syracuse University…schools of that standing.

EDIT: By the way, I’m a junior. I have one AP class under my belt and a total of 7 honors classes besides that.

Do schools like that just chuck your application once they see you have, say, a 2.9?
