He’s about 20 years old, a college student, and you’ve already determined he’s a failure? And why are you discussing grad school? Let him focus on the now. Most people don’t go to grad school.
My niece is not very academic but she’s graduating college this year. I told her to focus on getting the credits and attending every class. A 2.0 is going to get you credits. Some people can only hope for that in a certain subject.
Your expectations are generic and not based on your child. Focus on what’s best for him. You haven’t said one thing he’s doing wrong.

Kick his ass out of the house. Give him one months rent and tell him to get his shit together. He needs a swift kick in the ass.

Let him know that this is not at all an option for him. Make it crystal clear.
Kids from broken homes don't have this problem. A little domestic abuse goes a long way.

Read the book Emptying the Nest. I found it helpful.
