About myself:
GPA: 3.92 (just got verified on AMCAS)
MCAT: 36(B13/V10/P13)
EC: I'd rather not comment on it since it's too subjective.

School list:

Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine
Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth
George Washington University Sch of Med & Hlth Sci
Georgetown University School of
Medical College of Wisconsin
New York Medical College
Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicin
Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Scien (on probation????)
Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University
Stanford University School of Medicine (don't judge...)
Tufts University School of Medicine
University of Connecticut School of Medicine
University of Hawaii John A. Burns Sch. of Med.
University of Virginia School of Medicine
Wake Forest School of Medicine of Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center (no longer accepting Canadians)

I basically first compiled a list from the sticky thread on Canadian-friendly schools (http://www.premed101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19065), and then I used a MCAT/GPA ranking list (http://medical-schools.findthebest.com/) to spread out my choice evenly among the top 100 schools.

But after reading a few threads here, my concerns are:

1. I'm sure my list is far from "good"/"safe". So please give me some suggestions on adding "safer"/"easier"/"Canadian-friendly" schools. Much much appreciated. Money is not an issue here since I do have some savings.

2. How easier is it really to apply for US schools compared to applying in Ontario? I mean they only take a few international students per year...anyways I'm so depressed right now....

Thank you very much in advance for all the advices and suggestions.
 
btw I am applying for DO schools. Also I'm applying for Canadian schools from coast to coast except the four prairie ones (low verbal for alberta and Calgary, low mcat for Manitoba oop, and saskachewan is on probation so no...)

I don't think you need to consider DO with your stats. Just focus on the MD ones. If you apply to too many you won't have enough time to write proper supps for all of them.
