Assuming you've been updating your apps each month and checking to see if the addendums are asking for new/additional info, it's a waiting game. A handful of the regionals will be at Sun-N-Fun in 2 weeks if you want an excuse to go to a cool airshow in Florida. Then you can let them tell you to your face how competiive (or not competitive) your times are. At least you'll have made a human connection.

For your grey area termination/resignation from the shady flight school, if it were me I'd put "no" on that question. You can get ahead of it when they ask you some TMAAT questions that relate to safety, challenges, conflicts, etc. and tell them you resigned. But that's not likely preventing you from getting any calls. It's just the huge volume of apps out there from many many pilots at or well above your level.
