All linked but no responsability for the other, Oh and the students say they will not (can't?) post about the school on these forums? Secret is bad I think.

This is very true, good (albeit sarcastic) advice.
Stick with the well-known, reputable schools. I finished at Ross in 2005, I finished an internship at a university-based program, and now I'm in a good, strong anesthesiology residency in the northeast. I could not have done this, most likely, coming out of any other Caribbean school except for AUC, SGU, and maybe Saba.
You are investing a lot of time and money. You will have an uphill battle all the way. You will be handicapped and have to work extra hard to prove yourself. Don't dig any deeper of a hole.
It can be done, though. I'm living proof. Just make wise decisions, and this starts with the school you will attend.
Good luck!

What you say would make sense for most people but if for some freak of nature I were rejected by 8 then I would keep going because there is nothing else in the world that I am better suited for than medicine (maybe except professional food taster or superhero).
