I'd warn against considering any other professional school career an option, post rejection from med school. Dentistry and Pharmacy admissions are just as competitive as med school. Further, those schools want to see dedication to those professions same as med school - if you don't have pharmacy or dental experiences, don't count on impressing those committees. Further, the PCAT and DAT are very different admissions tests than the MCAT...you will have to take the time to study for those.
So what options are viable?
Physician's Assistant (will have to take the GRE, but that's a lot easier than the PCAT/DAT).
Accelerated Nursing programs can get you your BSN in 12 to 18 months, then with appropriate clinical experience you can get into the variety of advanced practice nursing fields - Nurse Anesthetist, Neonatal Nurse Practioner, etc
MPH or Masters in Healthcare Administration can also open up various opportunities that go past what your typical bio/pre-med has available.
Law school is always option, and in my limited experience, if you're a science major, law schools are usually impressed in comparison to the standard history/poli-sci/psych majors they're used to seeing. Plus, if you're a science major, you can get into patent law (which requires a technical background to enter).
