“because their GPAs are too low or they take the MCAT and get too low a score, so that they realize that applying is futile.”

Understood, but exactly the same thing is true of all kinds of graduate programs. It’s nothing specific to medicine. Same could be said of musicology (where admissions for a fellowship are much more difficult.)

“I’ve known several friends with 3.7+ Ugrad GPAs from places like Berkeley, tippy top MCAT scores, internships in hospitals, ECs, and stellar recommendations get rejected 3+ times in a row…”

Almost always because they didn’t cast their nets wide enough. (Or because they are impossible, immature interviews.)
