You're still all over the board as far as careers. For engineering you want a top engineering school

To become a vet you'd want to go to a school with a good Biology and/or Agriculture program.

For pre-law you'd be looking for a school with a good Business and/or Political Science program.

Check student reviews of colleges by Googling the words "student reviews" and the names of the schools you are interested in (one at time). Also try Googling just the name of each school by itself. Then click where it says “Google reviews.”

But keep in mind that the only way to find out for sure is to apply and see what each school says. The admissions process is extremely quirky, and it’s difficult to predict exactly who will get accepted and who won’t.

You need to think over your career plans carefully. A 3.0 isn't going to get you through Engineering, Law, or Vet school. Either you're going to have to work a lot harder, or pick a career that's related to one of these fields, but does not require grad school (for example, CAD draftsman, paralegal or vet technician).

A state college in your home state may be your best bet. You should probably seriously consider community college. Taking your first two years at community college is a big money saver, and if you do well enough in your Junior year you can transfer to a four-year college to finish up your BA.
