The British medical education model, which is also followed in some of their former colonies (India comes to mind), gets you there faster and costs you less. The trend in US is going in the other direction with average age of M1 hovering at 23-24. The main question you need to ask yourself is whether or not you want to be treated as an FMG. Residency chances and the caliber of residencies available for FMGs have been on the decline since the 80s.
