If you were rejected after interview, do you have a sense of why? Clearly interview skills should be a focus.

Do you have any other type of community service (food pantry distribution, shelter work, etc.)?

Why not apply to more Canadian schools? You have great stats and it would be much cheaper. I’d also look at border schools like UW and OHSU.
