Honors Program in Universities-Is it worth it?

ok. another question. I want to go into medical school after my undergrad. Lets say that I got a 3.5 gpa in the honors program, and this other person who has the EXACT same stats (diregard the essay and interview) but was in the regular college with a gpa of a 3.9…

would the med school still pick the guy w/the 3.9 even though I was in the honors program?

so what im basically asking is that how much does being in an honors program affect professional college admissions? If you have a lower gpa than someone in the regular college, will this not matter as much as long as the gpas are close? Or does the person who went to the regular college who has a little gpa have an advantage?
