^Not the case…

Anyways, that GPA is totally killer for your profile. EC are important, but first and foremost colleges look for applicants who have proven that they are GOOD students. If you apply with a 3.0, I would say you’ll be eliminated almost immediately, unless:
-You have a decent rank to accompany that 3.0
-Your school is nationally ranked/sends many to elite schools
-You have/will pulled in some impressive awards from SkillsUSA or Intel (have you?)

Your #1 priority needs to be getting good grades.

Honestly, you’ve got a nice profile and there are many great colleges that would LOVE to have you. You just need to set your sights lower than the ivy league.
