research etc. at UCLA is more extensive/better, but the med school acceptance rates are only 50%! Does this mean it’s easier to get into med school from Michigan, or that it prepares you better?

In real estate, it is “location, location, location!”
In the med school admission, it is your state of residency which plays a major role in determining your chance. What you see in the different admission rates between these two colleges is mostly because there are many California residents in UCLA, and the majority of the students attending U. of Mich are not from a “competitive state” like California.
