to apply to programs with mostly carribean grads ?

might be tough, as you are seeing a trend there. They may not be as open to others but then again if you are confident in your application, then it may be worth a shot.

It is really important to apply at 8am, Sept. 1, 2011. Programs pick applications on first come first served basis. When they start reviewing, they sort the applications based on their time stamps. What this means is that - say 600 people applied between 8am to 8:15am, and you applied at 8:30am, your application will be ignored, simply because all the IVs will be distributed among first 600 applicants. This is even more important for psychiatry as almost all programs follow this pattern (verified extensively).

With that said, it is no guarantee that you will match even if you apply at 8am. For example, asif-ali applies at 8am every year, year after year. He fails everytime because:
1: he is a 2003 grad.
2: he is 32+ & unemployed.
3: low IQ - since he spells Mr. Hyde as MR. HIDE (HAHAHAHHAHAHA)
4: poor temperament - gives in easily to me and gets humiliated time and again.

So the moral of the story is:
(1): IF YOU CANT APPLY ON SEPTEMBER 1, THEN DONT APPLY THIS YEAR. YOU WILL BE WASTING YOUR MONEY EVEN IF YOU ARE LATE BY 30MINS.
(2): IF YOURS CREDS MATCH THE ASIF-ALI BAR (2003 grad, 32+, unemployed, low IQ), THEN ALSO DONT BOTHER TO APPLY.
