I am about to start my second year at this caribbean medical school. I have looked through the many posts on FMG's, but still have some questions, I hope you can help me out.
I am from the U.S., and had decent MCAT and GPA, but went to Ross because of family issues (I couldn't start school until Jan. and didn't want to wait another year). I keep reading on these posts that you can't match directly out of med school, but at Ross, years 3 and 4 are done in the states. Does that change anything? I have some connections at the hospital where I used to work, including having my name on a couple of published ortho research papers. I know I'm getting a little ahead of myself as I have not taken the USMLE I or II, but assuming that goes well, should I have a problem based on being from Ross?
Any suggestions/help would be appreciated.
