Be aware that such a statement would disqualify you from getting a student visa, since students need to go to the US to study. Unlike other developed countries there is no direct pathway for students who graduated from a US university to get a lawful job and a permanent right to stay - there is a lottery.
After you graduate, you can have access to OPT, which allows you to apply what you learned through a job (practical training).
Typically graduate programs require a 3.0+ - if 2.95 is your actual GPA and not a translated/ recalculated GPA, this would be a problem - unless there’s an indication of rank where that GPA places you in the top 50%, top 30%, top 25%…students. (In the US this GPA would likely place you in the bottom 30%.)
