Schools such as Hawaii and LSU accept very few non residents with your stats and no connections to the state. Harvard, Stanford, Pittsburgh, Dartmouth and Emory are unrealistic with a MCAT of 507. You should apply to any DO schools that accept applications from Canadians.

Add:
10 DO schools
Any international-friendly MD school within your stat range. Be aware that a 507 is definitely on the low end for most schools and you should probably set your expectations for DO school.

Thank you for your help, @Faha and @m1redsox.

I will definitely consider DO schools as well. There is a list of Canadian-friendly DO schools on Full Application Guide | comsa-do. Any suggestions based on my profile?

Apply to all of them except TCOM (accepts mainly Texas residents).
