Rescind a Guaranteed Next Year Acceptance

So I got a guaranteed next year acceptance at a DO school very late into the cycle. I wouldn't mind going to the DO school and I like their program. I was also looking to take a year off anyways and was already enrolled in a masters program in a humanity (for the sake of learning) so I don't mind taking the extra time.

However, I do have an interest in global health and might consider practicing abroad down the line. MDs have better global reciprocity than DOs, so I would rather have an MD. I'm wondering if it would be ethical to reapply to MD schools next cycle and rescinding the DO school if I get accepted.

I'm aware I will probably have to pay a 2,000 dollar DO deposit, but if I get accepted into an MD program, I wouldn't mind giving the DO school the donation since they were willing to take me.
