Hate to burst the bubble but many never even apply in the US (if that is where you r from) I will say that any grad of a lcme school has a relative "walk in the park" as far as getting into a residency. Although not ANY residency. There is quite a bit of competition among lcme grads for certain surgical subspecialties, derm, and in recent years em.
Aside from the political incorrectness in having a non lcme degree in the usa, it really isn't much of a big deal. Medicine is basically the same anywhere. Some schools may have beautifully painted and hallways, well manicured gardens, be more aesthetically appealing, but you really cant alter basic or clinical sciences.
Are you in a residency or licensed already?
