It's your call but a better criteria would be cost location and connections to your desired residency location. The DO schools have the obvious advantage of being within this country. Lecom has a decent price as would the state funded schools I would imagine. NyCom and the carib prices are obscene from my investigations.

But with seismic economic shifts afoot. I would've only gone carib pre-2008. Way too many risks for that kind of money and for that little stateside connection. Do as you like though.
