I am a 3rd year applied math student and I am screwed for internships/REUs(low GPA)

I go to a state California university and my gpa as of right now is really bad. I flunked the previous quarter so i’m spending this quarter and the next to fix my gpa (was previous a 3.97 now its below 3.0). I really need to apply to internships and/or REUs but who is going to accept me with an awful gpa like this? Applications start next spring/this winter…I’m really screwed considering 2018 is my senior year. (I will graduate in winter of 2019). Any tips?

Pretty difficult to get into REU with low GPA (or in general rather). I feel like the only way for you to get into research program is if you contact a professor beforehand and they want to do research with you.
