Yes, I have 4 friends, also Caribbean grads, 2 went through match twice and matched the 2nd time, one in IM and the other in FM. The other 2 matched in FM after 4th match. They also had repeat on exams, USCE with US and UK LOR's and all are US citizens.

Reason the 1st 2 did not match ---applied late and CS was not reported in time for match season.
