Hey SDN!

I am a Canadian MSc. student who is applying to U.S. MD and DO schools this year.

Here are my stats - GPA: 3.72, MCAT: 512, lots of research and extracurriculars

Given the disadvantage that Canadians face as out-of-state/international applicants to the U.S., I want to hedge my bets by applying to a post-bacc program. I've read about the linkages that some programs offer and I am wondering which of these you would recommend to a Canadian (keep in mind I have tried to keep these to Canadian-friendly schools as possible, but some are not). Would any of these help a Canadian applicant?

2) VCU CERT
3) UC San Diego Premedical Program
4) Boston University MAMS
5) NYMC Basic Medical Sciences Interdisciplinary Program - Accelerated
6) Rosalind Franklin
