nontrad - 2 years out. Horrendous MCAT 23 (9,5,9). Recently got my scores of 508 (129,124,128,127) Obviously CARs just isn't my thing, studied really hard and focused on that section, thought I did much better and still ended up with a 124.

It looks like you have included all the schools where you have a potential chance for an interview. There is no guarantee for a MD acceptance with your stats so apply to at least 8 DO schools. You could try:
LECOM
PCOM
NYIT
TOURO
Add a few more in areas of the country that appeal to you. You may need a DO LOR for some schools.
