I am going into my 4th year at a Canadian (Ontario) University Majoring in Biomedical Science. I am looking for some help with my school list and what my chances will be. I can't apply to a huge list of schools because I also plan on applying in Canada as well ($$$$!). I have not completed an english course so that also limits my options. I also don't have any research experience.

Work:
Correctional Institution (Administrative Work)- 2 years (+700 hrs)
Professional Skating Coach- 3 years (+400 hrs.)

Clinical Volunteer:
Hospital (paediatrics, mental health) (+200 hrs)

Medical (Oncology) Genetics (200 hrs)
- shadowing genetic counsellors etc. + volunteer work etc.

Extracurricular:
Competitive Figure Skater (7000 hrs)

Non-Clincal Volunteer:
Mentoring for at Risk Teen Girls (+100 hrs.)
Crisis Hotline Volunteer (+100 hrs.)

Teaching:
Statistic Teaching Assistant (+100 hrs.)
Anatomy Teaching Assistant (+100 hrs.)

Current School List:

Based on MSAR and your advice I have updated my list: are there any more I should add/remove?

Rosalind Franklin
Penn State University College of Medicine
Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University
Dartmouth
Tufts
Albert Einstein
Northwestern
Yale
New York University

This would be a short list for a US applicant.
Unless you are pretty confident of a Canadian acceptance, 10 more would not be too many.
 
Final List:
CMU College of Medicine
Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine
Rosalind Franklin
Penn State University College of Medicine
Georgetown
Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University
Tufts
Dartmouth
Albert Einstein
Duke University
University of Virginia
Case Western
Northwestern
Yale
New York University
Chicago Pritzker

Have I included enough lower tier schools? I am questioning if I have too many reach schools for my stats...
