Non-LCME/ACGME, non-US/Canadian (Caribbean Medical School) MS4 student trying for Electives

[medtissue]

So I am from a caribbean medical school not accredited my the ACGME nor LCME and I wanted to apply for Electives. Most websites state that LCME accreditation is a prerequisite in order to apply. How do I proceed? Does it mean I won't be able to rotate at the prestigious Top 10 or Top 20 schools?

I think your chance of getting a top 20 school’s any elective is much closer to 0% than 100%.

What school if I can ask?

Some schools allow applications from approved international schools. You will need to investigate school by school. But yes if a school requires LCME-accreditation then you cannot apply to that program.

Like i tried harvard, my school wasn't listed there, same with most others like Hopkins, umich. I am stuck.. damn I need to do good electives, I don't have great scores for IM. My school is neither accredited, nor affiliated nor approved. Just associated with a small community hospital in the midwest where I did my MS2 and MS3 years. Anyone has any experience?
