I would advise you to try to get into a US school first. If that fails, then I would advise you to consider Saba strongly. If I were to do that whole process over again, I would still chose Saba. The only thing I would have done differently would be to do all of my clinical rotations outside of the US ... Saba offers this service. I have seen the recent changes my home state of Texas has taken in regards to FMGs and in particular Caribbean FMGs. For Texas, the one critical issue is accreditation of your clinical rotations. There are a growing number of hoops to jump through if you want to go to a foreign medical school and do the clincal portion of your education in the US. The number of such hurdles drops dramatically if all those clinical rotations are done outside the US.
Remember that the Texas licensing issues are not Saba issues strictly speaking ... these issues concern all Caribbean/foreign medical schools who send thier students to the US for clinical training (which includes the big 3: AUC, Ross, SUG).
Good luck!
