Low [2.987] GPA, what will happen to me when applying to college?

As someone mentioned upthread, you should be sure to take advantage of the section on the common app that allows you to explain covid-related circumstances that affected your learning, especially those that might be specific to you.

My D23 put certain things in that section that were very specific to her situation that were probably different from many students because of a policy unique to her high school. The issue came up during an interview with an admission counselor and it was actually kind of nice to just be able talk about it and have the admission counselor express so much compassion for what students have been through and an understanding that many students did not have the opportunity to show their potential.

I think you will be fine.
