How are you even capable of graduating with a GPA that low? That's below academic probation at any good school and you'd be kicked out after 2 semesters.

Really? Only school I found that requires above a 3.0 was MIT. Rest just need 2.0 for undergrad.

Do not waste your time with science.
Here are a few problems with science:
-How most of it will be outdated in the near future. If in ten years most of your book is worthless, why should I take it seriously now? Note how the Bible's teachings lies mostly unchanged after 2000 years, unlike science.
-How laws in science are axiomatic and discarded or used whenever scientists deem it conveniant. In other words the rules are sometimes true and sometimes false. Great.
-Finally, the fundamentals of science are problematic:Why believe a bunch of men who carry diplomas know about reality more than everyone else and that their scribblings constitutes "the real truth about the Universe"? The Bible is the book of God who is still read about after 2000 years, science books are books of arrogant men who are discarded after a while. Socrates, the ultimate plebbitor, said one true and important thing:"The only thing I am sure of is that I do not know anything". Faith > "Intelligence", "knowledge" and "reason".

Probably go work and see if you can get into a master's. Easiest to get in would be in your undergrad school.

MIT has a GPA based out of 5.0 so that 3.0 is really more equivalent to a 2.4 which is pretty abysmal

Anon, the *average* gpa at most schools is around 2.6-2.7.

OP is technically above average, albeit in a pool full of psych and art majors and others who aren't expected to be particularly smart.

It's true that any respectable grad school will have a 3.0 gpa requirement, likely a lot higher, and scholarship programs typically require as much. But a C is considered "average", the below average D and F students don't make it to university but most college graduates have a GPA in the 2.0-3.0 range.

Adjust your expectations accordingly - but don't forget that any sort of STEM research selects from the top 5% or so of the population so the inflated numbers you're used to likely do apply for you.

You are wasting everyones time studying high level anything with those grades. Graduate and learn some practical skill and pretend physics makes you better at it (driving, cooking, etc)
