Getting into USMD school is no joke. There are plenty of people like OP who just don't get in for whatever reason. It's a big fat crapshoot. I know someone with a 3.8/32 who didn't even get a single MD interview so reapplied to DO schools and is happily attending one now. Just be happy you have the DO acceptance. You're going to be a freaking doctor! Most who apply don't even get that opportunity.
I agree with everything you are saying but there are not "plenty" of people with those stats (3.8/32) that don't get into a single allopathic school. At my school those numbers give you a 100% acceptance rate and I believe from the data from aamc that combination boasts a mid 80% rate. Thus I would say that it's still relatively rare to not land a single acceptance with those stats. It's rather unfortunate and I really empathize with OP. But I would feel more bad if he didn't get into ANY medical school, which is obviously not the case
