Dumb decision rejecting ucsb ?

To start off I am debating between pharmacy school and med school. I could possibly even go into pharmaceutical sales.

I got into ucsb as a molecular and cellular bio major with pharmacology emphasis but rejected it for biochem and molecular bio at ucd. Ucd really drew me in because of its reputation, i felt like i would gain more opportunities and the cost of living would be lower. Of course prestige also played a part so ucsb being known as a party school really didnt help much. A small part of me cant help but question did i make the right choice rejecting a major where i had a pharmacology emphasis or does it not really matter ? Its not something that bothers me much but i would like to see other peoples perspective on the topic.

having difficulty being happy about ucd

i applied as a bio/biochem/molecular bio major to ucsd, ucla, uci, ucsb, and ucd as a junior transfer from a ccc. i got rejected from uci, waitlisted at ucla and ucsd, and accepted to ucd and ucsb. i know i got into good schools but if im being honest they were my safety schools and i didnt really want to go, i only applied because i knew i would get in and i was scared i wasnt good enough for ucla or ucsd. im just having a really hard time being happy because im scared i wont like davis and im so anxious checking my email everyday hoping to see a ucla or ucsd email. if anyone has advice i would really appreciate it.

*side note: i know i got into great schools and i know theyre some peoples dream schools, but at the end of the day, they werent mine so i have the right to be sad about it
