Competitive for Osteopathic Schools? 3.4/3.3, 4.0 in non-SMP masters, 516 MCAT

[potato head_dumpling]

Hi! I am an ORM. Went to a T20 school, majored in chemistry/math. Tanked my Junior year and one class in my senior cuz I was caring for a mentally ill family member...have over 2000h hands on clinical (I worked as MA in college and also after college), and 1500h of research...the rest of my app are decent except not too many volunteer hour total around 300h...which might look bad. I am applying to MD and DO, but I know with my stats MD is quite unlikely. I am just wondering if I would be a competitive DO candidate. I applied to around 20 DO schools and Liberty and Edward Via haven't sent me secondaries yet..I am not sure why...please advise!

You are competitive for all DO schools with your stats and also some MD schools. Where is your state of residence ?

New York, I applied broadly based on your suggestions to other students on this forum.
The DO schools I applied to are
ATSTILL
California Health sciecne
Campbell University
Midwestern
PCOM (all three campuses)
Lake Erie all three campuses
Liberty
Edward Via
Michigan state
NYITCOM
Rowan
Pacific Northwestern
Touro New York/California
western (two campus)
William Carey

However, Liberty, Edward via and Touro California haven't sent me secondaries...I am not sure why. I submitted my primary by August 1st...I also applied to pretty much all low-tier mid-tier MD schools except for out of state public schools...Just wondering if there are something else I should do in terms of the DO schools..I have one DO recommendation on top of two MD LOR. I was planning to shadow the DO, but then covid happened...He was kind enough to still write me one because he has known me as a person for years...I am doing more volunteering work right now and might have a publication happen towards the end of the year...

I do not know why those schools have not sent you secondaries. You could add other DO schools instead such as:
MU-COM
DMU-COM
KCU-COM
UNECOM
I believe that you could receive interviews from the SUNYs and Albany and NYMC.
