This year its going to be far more competitive especially after the MD/DO Merger happens which will make things even more difficult
I have no idea what the rest of your quote has to do with what I said because you even admitted that a 3.0/27 means "competative" according to your little index thing you quoted.. A 3.0/27 has a good chance of getting into a DO school with a broad app. Look at the AACOMAS info, look at how many people matriculated with a GPA that low, or look at how many people matriculated with below a 27... The numbers are significant.
The above is wishful thinking. Goro said that this last year has seen a drop in overall applications, and combine that with the explosion of new schools and I wouldn't be surprised if the average stayed the exact same for DO schools or even dropped slightly. The established schools will probably get more competative but the rest will bring the average down.
Why do you think the merger would make things more difficult? If anything it will make people try harder for MD...
