MD Canadian Student Needing Help with Selecting Medschools

[xClashx]

Hey guys, I am applying this summer to Canadian and US medschools, and wanted help in picking out medschools to which I can apply to.

Things about me:

Attending: University of Toronto (Currently in my 3rd year)

cGPA: 3.88 --> (2.7 in Sociology and 3.3 in English: do medschools look at individual marks for prereqs?)
sGPA: 4.00
MCAT: 34 (13P, 9VR, 12B)

Requirements
I have taken the following courses which are generally prereqs:
1) Bio
2) General Chem (1 credit) --> 8 semester hours
3) Organic Chem (1 credit)--> 8 semester hours
4) English (1 credit)
5) 1 full sociology credit (I think that is a 6 semester hours)
6) Physics (0.5 credits, this semester I will finish the other half)

Extracurricular
-General Volunteering at Hospital for 2 years (about 120 hours)
-Volunteering in University as Health Educator (240 hours)
-Shadowed a Family Doctor (30 hours)
-Volunteering in Research lab (no pubs., but I will be starting my own project this semester)
-Baseball Team in Grade 11/12 if that makes any difference =/

Have you checked the MSAR to see the matriculation data for these schools? UCSF had zero internationals last year.

Ya, I saw, and i did make the list based on MSARs.

Is UCSF not accepting Canadians? Maybe the internationals were out-competed by in/out states?
Also, does anyone know which schools consider Canadians as Out of State instead of International?

Canadians are considered international unless an explicit exception is made. UCSF allows applications from internationals but the outcomes are as quoted. UCLA matriculated one international student but it is unclear whether it was to Geffen or Drew...

CA has the stongest IS applicant pool in the country so it is entirely possible that IS candidates "out-competed" both OOS and international applicants.

Out of the list, which ones are the most Canadian friendly?
