Importance of USMLE Step 2 for DO's who took Step 1

[sd1017]

I am currently a third year and took both the COMLEX and USMLE step one. I did a bit above average with USMLE 227 and COMLEX 603 and am in the top quintile of my class. If I want to match IM at an east coast DO friendly university program(such as Drexel, Temple, UMDNJ, SUNY Downstate, Einstein) how important is it that I take the USMLE step 2 in addition to the COMLEX?
