Who's a doctor?

Didn't feel like starting a new topic so I'll ask here. What kind of GPA do med schools look for in applicants. I asked some doctors and they said they got in with 3.2's to 3.5's... Some told me now adays its around 3.8 to 4. I'm a pre-med major but I also plan on majoring in chemistry as a back up. Just need some more math and like 3-4 more chemistry classes. But ya. Are med schools becomming more strict on GPA or is it mostly dependant on MCAT and a decent gpa?

Avg GPA MD: 3.5ish
Avg MCAT MD: 30ish (evenly distributed)

Need to work in the medical field either as a volunteer or something to get a feel for the work.

Research doesn't hurt either.

Lower for DO schools (especially because they do grade forgiveness).
