Is the UK a good place to go to school in the eyes of the US residency positions people?

Do US residencies prefer or give any additional advantage to individuals with intercalated B.Sc. degree along with MBBS/MBChB as some of the hospital give in UK?Waiting4Ganong said:As a UK citizen at a UK medical school I was very well received at most places when I looked into US residencies last year (East coast IM residencies). Not many people make the transition however as UK training has so many advantages too as a UK grad.

I would seek your thoughts or comments on the relevance of intercalated B.Sc. question.

From the list you posted, W4G, I'm surprised to hear those are 2nd tier - can you possibly link to the place where the 1st / 2nd tiers are listed? A few of those are Ivy Leagues and I would have assumed they were pretty good...no?
How did you get informal out of season interviews?
I know what you mean about the dates and someone on here previous(maybe even you, but I dont think so!) had said that the best thing to do was start UK training and leave before the end if you get a residency. Does seem a bit weird / annoying though.
