So I was recently accepted to both a top tier pharmacy school (ranked #1 in the nation) and a private DO school that isnt ranked. I was previously enrolled in another mid-tier MD school but was kicked out because of my poor academic performance. I was kind of surprised I got into a DO school, but my stats for the DO school was in the top 25% of their admitted applicants. The major thing is location. The DO school is located in a relatively rural area far from any major cities, while the pharmacy school is located in a bustling urban metropolis. My significant other also lives near the pharmacy school, and I don't want to compromise our relationship and mental health. I know medicine will provide higher earnings and has a better career prospect too. However, given my past failures, I'm about 53% certain that I will be able to graduate the DO program succesfully withi 6 years. I am however about 80% certain that I can graduate pharm school within 6 years without getting dismissed, because from talking to pharmacists, the courses are less deep in the material covered, like they will only talk about the effects of drugs on a system rather than all the details of a system.
