Could u give me tips? 3.3/37 got rejected everywhere this cycle. I just planned to do smp and reapply this year. I also planned to do a national guard thing so once I got into u.s. md program I could make some money. But my parents have completely annoyed me... And theyre the ones who suggested that I go to the caribbean. They say "m.d. is m.d. anywhere". I know thats not the case. But would I be able to get into an american EM program if I went to the caribbean and did extremely well on the step1? Without any connections? Also I don't even like caribbean. I guess it might be cool if you're a rich person on vacation there. But if I were a poor loser, I would prefer to be poor in Eastern Europe. So if Prague and Caribbean have similar "marginal" reputations, I would definitely like to hear more about those Prague or Polish schools. Though it is obviously more reasonable to reapply to american schools if going foreign makes it incredibly difficult to get a moderately competitive residency(EM).
