Considering Osteopathic Schools

Would anybody ever take a D.O. seat over a M.D. seat and why?
I am considering applying to some osteopathic schools this upcoming cycle, but I am fairly confident I will get an acceptance from a M.D. school. So I would appreciate some feedback from others who know more about the D.O. experience and if it would be worth turning down a M.D. seat for a D.O. seat?

I keep hearing over and over that both schools make you a qualified doctor, but why do D.O. schools have such lower acceptance stats?

I am also wondering if going to a D.O. school will make me less competitive for an oncology residency?

I am not trying to ruffle any feathers, I am just a pre-med trying to figure it all out. Thanks for your help.
