Need advice regarding applications

[fiascoproblem]

I am a Canadian citizen from Ontario. I am applying to medical schools this year, and I just graduated from a 4 year BSc program from UofT. 

GPA: 3.89 OMSAS, but around 3.91 for unis that take out one year and 3.94 for UofT. 

MCAT: 505 (127/124/127/127) --> hoping for a 510 - 513 on a redo in few days (My weakness is CARS. I still cannot get it above 125 so that limits my application in Canada to a lot of schools.)

ECs: Quite a few. 400 hours of hospital volunteering. Around 50 - 100 hours of Distress Centre volunteering. More than 1 full year of research (1 tertiary author, 1 primary author publication --> in review, 1 children's research symposium award). 1 year of course based research (research presentation award at the end). 1 NSERC research award. TA for a year. School first year menthor for 2 years. President for a club for a year. Other small club roles. A school wide leadership award winner. 

Being from Ontario, I am most limited with my ability to do good on CARS. Not sure if I have the energy to rewrite MCAT for 3rd time to get an even better CARS scores. Should I even try applying to some Canadian Medical School? Should I try US? Is this competitive enough for US (or Canada even)? 

Thanks :)

retake MCAT for CARS purposes. UofT will reject you automatically since it’s below 125.

Do more other ECs...yours is too focused on research. Good luck
