There are many people still accepted into med school with 3.0's and even a SMALL AMOUNT with under 3.0's. With a 3.7 you'd almost be accepted to every med school in the US.
This is not true. People with 3.0s don't usually get into med school; the absolute lowest is around 3.3, and besides, the people with GPAs like that probably have something like a significant number of publications or amazing activities that might cause their lower GPA to be overlooked. The average person will not get into medical school with a GPA like that.

Having a 3.7 would not get you "accepted to every med school in the US", not by a long shot. It certainly makes you competitive, but that's it.

You seem to be greatly underestimating the difficulty of getting into med school; it's hard now, and it's only going to get harder in the next couple years.
