I am an undergraduate student at University of Toronto and I am a Canadian Citizen.
I just made a U.S School List which accepts Canadian Students.
Are there any schools that I need to add?
Can you please help me to sort these out into top and low tier schools?
I don’t think I will be able to apply to them all:S
Thanks in advance.

School List:
Columbia
Dartmouth
Duke
Albert Einstein
George Washington
Harvard
Jefferson

Because it is extremely competitive to get into med school in Canada, arguably more so than in the US.

Respectfully disagree. McGill for instance is one of the top two school in Canada and only received 1024 applicants in 2010 for the their 4-year program. 164 were admitted (between 23.9 and 33.7% depending on in-province or out of province status) (http://oncampus.macleans.ca/educati...h-success-rates-low-the-stats-tell-the-story/). Harvard is one of the top two programs in the U.S. and received 5434 applications in 2010. 223 (or 4.1%) were admitted (http://hms.harvard.edu/about-hms/facts-figures). Furthermore, Harvard is not even among the top 9 U.S medical school with the lowest acceptance rate while McGill's acceptance rate is about average (http://www.usnews.com/education/bes...ical-schools-with-the-lowest-acceptance-rates). Not to say that McGill doesn't provide a wonderful education, but simply put, the numbers do not support the argument that good canadian schools are more competitive than comparable american schools.
