Thank you, I applied to the DO schools listed above and Georgetown/St. Louis/GW/Jefferson/NYMC.

Any input as to what are my actual chances of getting into said schools?

You are competitive for all DO schools and should receive several interviews. East Carolina is your best chance for a MD interview.
