The Australian schools were never catered to US students wishing to return to the US like the major Caribbean schools which focus on the USMLE as well as offering rotations in US hospitals. I chose Australia for a number of reasons, its much cheaper than a big Caribbean school, even with the strong Aussie dollar, the living conditions are excellent for a foreign country, and with regards to licensing there are no major issues when coming back to the states. Since the Australian schools aren't filled with students scrambling to ace the USMLE its a less stressful atmosphere as well and there is low attrition in Australia.
