Thank you I figured C would be the best option but while getting into undergrad is plausible, the big hurdle comes in when you’re talking about med school as it is almost impossible for internationals to get into a U.S. med school, and for the available spots, I heard that Canadians fill up almost all of them, especially since they are accredited by the same board, the LCME.

I have thought about what you said though, where if for some reason one doesn’t make it into the U.S. system, he/she could always go back to his/her country of origin to practice, no? And I guess going to SGU for example would probably open more opportunities for practicing outside U.S. & Jamaica than going to UWI would, right?
