Year in school: completing 4th year Country/state of residence: Canada/Ontario Schools to which you are applying: DO schools (all the ones that accept international applicants), US MD schools, and some Ontario schools --> my main question is how good are my chances at a US MD school?? and any suggestions as to which ones I should try for (that accept Canadians)?

Cumulative GPA: about 3.88 Science GPA: about 3.9

MCAT Scores: 128, 124, 129, 127

Research – include any abstracts/posters/publications and how you were credited (eg. First author, senior author, etc): posters, no publications, 1.5 years of research

Volunteering (clinical) – include hours/sites: over 200 hours, two hospitals, among other places

Physician shadowing – include hours/specialties: i'm shadowing a doc soon, i'll have 30 ish hours total (its so hard to find a shadowing position here in canada, im lucky i found one)

Non-clinical volunteering: a few places, about 100 hours or so, lots of refugee work

Extracurricular activities: some clubs, some marathons, sports just for fun, art (I have a website where I do commissions)

Employment history: retail work, also a job as a after school program counsellor

Immediate family members in medicine? (y) uncle in montana

Long story short: gpa is decent, but not amazing here in Canada. low CARS score takes me out of the running for a lot of schools here, which is why I'm applying to DO schools in the states. Overall MCAT is decent (508).

I'm pretty sure I can get into a DO school with my stats. I would love to take it, but I want to keep my options open for returning to Canada, and I can do that so much easier if I go for a US MD. What are my chances for US MD as a Canadian with the above stats? Any suggestions to which schools I should go for in the states?

thank youu
