I would add any school that considers or accepted Canadians. That would be at least all border schools like Buffalo, Minnesota, and Washington. That said, are you sure you aren't going to consider Canadian schools because that is always a concern.

My GPA is jusat too low for Canadian school right now (Its about an 83% with my top two years, which is how Canadian schools look at it), I've already been rejected by 1 Canadian school. So thats why I was wondering what my chances for the USA would be with my scores :)

Detroit Mercy accepts a lot of Canadians due to their geography. But as previously suggested, query all US schools in states bordering the US. Can't say much more since I don't have a full breakdown of your experience hours.
