the shorter study cycles can be offset by longer waiting periods for clinicals, extra paperwork, how long your school takes to process things.. even if your school gets you in clinicals the next day and overnights all your paperwork the time saved in this scenario is hugely disproportionate to the opportunities lost later on residency interviews lost, specialities that are an even longer shot, hospitals that will not look at your applicatioon, etc....if a year is worth all that then so be it but if anyone has a realistic shot at a US MD or DO school you should consider going to those before the word caribbean even enters your vocabulary
