I would recommend applying to the 2 LCMA accredited medical schools in PR. Their names are Ponce and Caribe both take 5-10 out of staters each year and the stats you need to get in are lower than in the U.S. Most of the out of state people have GPA'a around 3.4 and MCAT of 27-30.
From what I can see many people applying to Ross/SGU would be competitive in PR IF you can speak good conversational level Spanish. You don't need to be 100% fluent or anything just able to communicate well. Most of what we do here is in English anyways.
The best part is since the schools are LCME accredited there is no FMG hassle/stigma associated with them. Plus it is way easier to live in PR than in Dominique or Granada.
Any questions I will try to answer as best I can.
Good luck,
Adam
