Hey guys, I am trying to keep my options open and am starting to research on med school in the caribbean. I am also taking the MCAT in this coming august and hopefully I'll get in somewhere. But its always good to have another plan jsut incase things don't turn out the way you want them to. Anyway, so i was wondering is it true that students graduating from caribbean medschools need to have a higher score then US graduates in the USMLE board exams in order to get a residency in the US? Because I know that people coming from India or other countries have to score a certain score (or is that false?). Hope someone can answer my ques. thanks...

Out of curiosity, how much higher are we talking?
