Most likely - However, there are schools that have been out longer like Saba, SMU, MUA-N, St James that do not require the MCAT and loves Canadians. So don't limit yourself.
The MCAT is a very doable exam. Don't let the fear of it hold you back. You could also get in AUC, Ross and SGU with a MCAT...

Depending on your grades you may need to submit (or take the MCAT) for Saba

Don't sell yourself short. If the MCAT scares you, then the USMLE will make you pee your pants for three straight weeks. It is good to see how you can handle a test like that. If you blow it, then you can apply to the schools that don't require an MCAT

Hey - Well that is sort of the next step for Saba to require the MCAT.

I guess so, since I've seen this come up so much and questions about it, I emailed Saba about it. They told me that in order for them to not ask you to submit the MCAT, you must have really good grades (3.6+) and a bachelor's degree. There may be other factors warranting them asking you to take or submit it, but it really is STRONGLY recommended.

With a 3.6 you could get into most US schools with a 28+ MCAT - so there is little risk their for Saba. I applied to Saba last year. I took the MCAT cold in 2005 - meaning I have not been in science since 1974 and did very little review for it. I scored ok except for Physical science where I got a 6.

Not really. If you're from like California, Texas, NY or such.. you also have to have a lot going for you as well.

If you are going to Dominica then you mind as well apply to Ross. There are people here that do not have MCAT score.
