Caribbean Vet Schools ADVICE please

About medical and veterinary schools int he Caribbean, having worked in one of them, the fact is that the quality of students differs widely. They get some students who, if they got 1% more on their entrance exams, would have made it into a program in the USA or Canada. AND they get students who would have never gotten in. The second problem is that they are "for profit" institutions, so they do not like it when students fail and get kicked out. The result is that standards are set pretty low. Students can fail each course several times before being kicked out, and students who get kicked out at one school get picked up by another one, where they then finish their degrees. SO it depends, some students could have easily entered a USA school, if they had just waited another year, and others, well, I would not trust them to operate on my pet hamster.
