To the two FOOLS who posted just before this post, NO ONE is guranteed admission to medical school. In theory, don't ALL of our applications need bolstering? Get a clue.

actually it's much much easier to get into a med school, per se, than getting into the best Ph.D. programs. according to the current stats, 40-50% of the applicants get into med school. However, the very best grad programs (i.e. top 10), especially in the biological sciences, tend to have 15-20 acceptance rate. (some ~30%) remember in Ph.D. programs you are competing with not just US citizens but also international students. On the other hand, if you just a graduate degree in Pudunk U, it's probably not going to do too much for you as far as med school admissions.
Ph.D. programs are designed for people who have a commitment for research careers. I don't know if it is legit preparation for medical school.
