Gpa

GPA is one of the determining factors but other important things universities look at are your class rank and your SAT score. If you face a drawback in GPA you'll have to compensate with a high SAT score. Having a relatively higher GPA compared to your classmates will ensure a good class rank(if your school reports ranks) and will make you a more competitive candidate for admission than them.

You don't exactly have a lot of time to pull up your grades. If you get good, consistent grades during senior year, you should be able to pull your GPA into 2.0-3.0 range. Some colleges have a minimum GPA requirement of 2.0 (unweighted). Some schools let in people with a GPA that doesn't meet the minimum requirement if they have a good enough SAT or ACT score or if they excel in other areas such as athletics or extracurriculars. The general rule of thumb is that you have to have at least a 2.0 GPA for colleges to even consider you, and even then it's only the least selective schools.
