Top schools in the US will understand that high school grades in Canada tend to be a little bit lower than in the US. As such you will be compared with students from a comparable grading system. Your SAT is great.

Acceptance rates at top ranked US schools are very low (around about 1%). Acceptance is also very hard to predict. Most applicants to the top 8 or 10 schools down here are very strong.

Have you run the NPC on schools in the US? This will give you a sense of how much they are likely to cost.

Canadian employers seem to prefer to hire graduates from Canadian universities. US employers hire graduates who have the right to work in the US. This can make it hard for a Canadian graduating from a top ranked US school to find a job anywhere. This hit me big time a few decades ago and was quite unpleasant. If I were to do it again, I would have stayed in Canada for undergrad and still considered US schools for graduate school.
