Actually I think it's a good list, but if you have a financial limit, I would remove three of those and find others. Your stats are on the low-average side for DO applicants.
1) Nova Southeastern is a very competitive program with a moderate regional bias. Not as bad as NYCOM but I personally wouldn't bother.
2) Michigan state might be one of the most competitive DO programs there is. I don't know where in Canada you're from but if I had your stats, I wouldn't be fantastically confident.
3) Touro NY notoriously weighs MCAT scores very heavily. I wouldn't feel great applying with a 503.
4) I'm on the fence about the Midwestern schools. They can be pretty unforgiving, but you might have what it takes.

Here are ones I think you should add, but find out about Canadian chances, because I don't know.

-I think you should add ATSU-SOMA (arizona) to your list. Great program and your stats are good for an interview there.

-Consider the southern schools and RVU, though their mcat is a bit high.

And keep in mind that Marian has an intense interview process.

I don't have much to offer since you are Canadian. If these schools accept internationals, I would say its a good list.

I would not waste your money on MSU. They are very known to have an in-state bias, and your stats are not very competitive as it is.

Try the newer schools like CUSOM and RVU-Utah (not sure if the req are the same for RVU-colorado)
