UC Davis admitted only one non resident last year and Rutgers only one international . You could add Wayne State, Tulane, St. Louis, Jefferson, Georgetown, Medical College Wisconsin, Virginia Commonwealth.

Thoughts:
I'm doing the MD/PhD the long (wrong) way. List is curated from MSAR, but for some places idk if they've matriculated any canadians recently. Other top priority is availability of MD/PhD mentors in my research area (microbiome informatics) - currently making a list but so far they're all from T5 places. Would appreciate any advice on this list; thanks!

Remove: Keck, Tufts, UCDavis, and Rutgers. They only accept Canadians' secondary fee.

Appreciate the heads up! Disappointing to hear abt Rutgers & Davis. They were pretty high on my list.

UCDavis technically accepts the occasional international/Canadian if they have strong ties to the school/state/area... this is from what I've seen on SDN/their website. You could try emailing them and asking too.

Also: why not Mac, Western or other Canadian MDs outside of Ontario? With your MCAT (especially CARS) you might have a real shot at some schools.

Davis was on my list for research collaborators, but it won't hurt to shoot them an email. My Canadian list is based on where my family is so it's pared down a bit more, but I'll look into some of the other Canadian MDs as well.
