You're about average for osteopathic schools. MD won't take kindly to your mcat drop or gpa.

Do you think that will rule out any acceptances? Or how do I fix this problem?

To provide the best possible feedback, I would need to review the AMCAS application that you submitted. There are many reasons why applications are rejected. Having a decreasing trend in your grades or in your MCAT scores may be a contributing factor. Applying late can also hurt your chances of acceptance.
When deciding to reapply, it's critical to focus on the strategy of the application--using all 15 activity descriptions, submitting all three most meaningful essays, including a compelling personal statement, etc. The way you write about your life and how you have worked to achieve your goal of pursuing a medical education is also very important. It sounds like you have great activities! Continue to participate in the ones that you find inspiring. It's important to change as much as you can before reapplying to demonstrate your progress and improvement.
For help with evaluating what to change in your application, please see this article on "Reapplying to Medical School: Evaluating Your Medical School Profile."
