i know it's late but i'm also to applying to this school. Med school in itself is difficult but it can be done. in reality it should matter what school you get your degree from; what matters is that your interested in medical school and that's a good thing. alot of doctoors have there 4 year degree in something like english and math or something that's not related to the medical field, but they did what they had to do in order to acheive their goals. no one on this forum has said anything positive in your direction. you can go to yale and be the worst doctor in your community, but you can go to a regular medical school like brown or st. james and be a wonderful doctor. my point is your decussion is, it entirely on you. Whatever school it is you just have to make the best of it. and st james is listed in the WHO listing so that great thing.
First, St James is not in the same category as Brown. Second, every US grad is going to have an easier time landing a residency than any Caribbean grad. It's not about being the worst doctor or wonderful doctor. It's about having open doors and or choices in life. As a result, a place like St James should only be considered if every other possibility is a brick wall because odds of success are poor.
