I know its top heavy, I was really irresponsible and didn't get many letters of evaluation from teaching professors in time. I only have one science letter (+ 2 from my PIs and 1 from the physician I shadowed) and therefore had to apply to schools which do not require "2 science letters" or "a non science professor you taught a class." These just so happen to be top heavy.


ANY feedback is appreciated 🙏🙏 and I thank you deeply for taking the time to read and provide constructive criticism.

Stanford, Yale, Washington University and U Virginia are unlikely as a Canadian applicant. I suggest these schools with your stats:
Dartmouth
George Washington
Georgetown
Jefferson
Loma Linda (if you fit their mission)
Michigan State
Central Michigan
Wayne State
New York Medical College
TCU
Tulane
Colorado
U Illinois
Virginia Commonwealth
Also apply to DO schools and I suggest these:
AZCOM
CCOM
KCU-COM
LUCOM
MSUCOM
NSU-KPCOM
Touro-NY
WCU-COM
UNECOM
WESTERN

thank you so much for this great list, there are some schools which I had not considered previously but now added them to my list. Can you explain why Stanford, Yale, Washington University and U Virginia are unlikely?

Your MCAT is 516. Even US citizens applying with a MCAT of 516 would have difficulty receiving and acceptance at those schools.
