sGPA is 2.98

do schools reject off the bat if the sGPA is not a 3.0?

You will get a lot of rejections. But there are schools that will consider you if you have a good DAT (maybe above 22).

Do you know any of the schools that might do?

There's no specific school that will automatically consider you because you have a low GPA. It's a multivariable process and really depends on how good the other aspects of your application are.

I had a bio subsection GPA of 2.8 (my sGPA was a shade above 3.2) and the only school I was early-rejected from was MWUAZ. I called most other mid-tier schools regarding my app and they all told me that my app was holistically considered. Check the ASDA handbook to make sure if the schools have a strict 3.0 GPA cutoff. If not, you’ll still be considered, assuming the other aspects of you app are stellar e.g. EC’s DAT score, personal statement

Honestly, the process is very iffy, I can't really say whether something will work or not. I have a sGPA of 2.95, overall 3.2, and a DAT of 20 AA, 21 TS, 20 PAT. My 2 years of working experience, as well as research, really boosted my application. I was rejected at most of my schools and received only 3 interviews, 1 acceptance. 1 acceptance is all you need my friend. Good luck! PM me if I can be of any further help.

Dent look at the post above carefully. I stated my DAT. I submitted my app in July (1st week).

Oh, my fault! I read that wrong. I think I had everything in by Mid-June!

Get the ADEA guide and look for schools that have lower GPAs. But make sure you have plenty of other things in your application that can offset the low grades.

okay! so far I have lots of shadowing (with current continued shadowing), volunteering, research, and planning on working in august/September which I can update later on.
