Does Saba require you to apply with MCAT scores? If yes, then what scores do you need to get into Saba? Any advice will be greatly apprecated.

Strongly recommended, not required. People have been accepted without MCAT. But if you have a not so hot GPA (lower than 3.0?), it's hard to justify your potential without an MCAT to offset it...something to keep in mind I guess.

currently i have about a 3.6 from the first 2 premed semesters
the 3rd semester grades are not up yet, but I'm looking to get straight A's (hopefully should boost me past a 3.7 towards a 3.8)
Only problem is the school I'm considerng to transfer from is UNIBE in the Dominican Republic.
From what I know, to transfer from UNIBE, we need above 3.7 GPA and an A in Organic; but I'm not sure about what MCAT scores we'd need if we had to do it...

do you recommend me just asking admissions at Saba?

The MCAT is not required. You should submit your MCAT scores if you GPA is low ( like around 3.0- 3.4) but your grades seem fine enough that you can get in. It won't hurt you (unless you MCAT score is low) to submit them either.

If your MCAT is below 20 there is no sense in submitting them b/c they'll not add anything to your application, and they might even hurt your chances b/c the committee might question your ability to take standardized exams.
