Ensure you understand the risks. Per the WFME directory:
75% of all students failed out and didn't graduate. Data is old, but I expect may be similar. Very high risk. But some people do make it though.

The data is old and is self-reported. If anything, I'd be more concerned about Federal Trade Commission Returns More Than $830,000 to Students Misled by Saint James Medical School’s Deceptive Marketing Claims.
First off, you should stick to US med school. Do a post bac or a career changer post bac, take the mcat and get into a US MD or DO program. Those would allow you to do much more. Even if you do go to the carib, why would you go to a "low tier" carib school. You should stick to the Big 3 aka ross, sgu and auc (maybe you can include aua/saba but i havent heard great things about them from personal experience).
Honestly, I think most of these carib schools prey on those who aren't well informed on the process and what it entails.

Good luck with your med school journey. Start preparing for your steps as early as possible. I know they changed the step 1 to PASS/FAIL now instead of the 3 digit numeric numbers we used to have. This puts you at a disadvantage. so make sure you ACE your step 2CK.
Did you continue at St. James?
