Oldtimer, chances of getting into KA as a DEP are not realllllly dependent on where you trained or gain your flying experience, I believe they are quite fair and give the very same treatment and testing irrespective. As long as you meet the requirements the rest is up to your effort.
In other news, congratulations to the guys who have made it in!
Long journey, sleepless nights but it has paid off. For those who didn't, keep the hope up your clearance will be issued soon
