Getting into any US med school is definitely harder than getting into FAANG. [0]

Part of it is things like the MCAT and organic chemistry are hard, part of it is there's a whole "hidden" component of med school applications related to volunteering, shadowing, research etc, that is opaque to most. This is part of the reason 50% of med school students already have a parent working in medicine.

I'm not sure what the table proves without FAANG statistics. I don't think 65% of students with a 3.8 are getting accepted at FAANG.
