These schools tend not to do as well in placements for residencies.

This is a significant understatement-- ~95% of US MD students match into residencies; for foreign grads it's around 50% and likely to fall further. Don't go to med school abroad if you want to practice in the US.

Incidentally, I've just started med school in the US on a full tuition scholarship and am willing to answer questions related to admissions.
