I say it is close to impossible to get accepted without the "requirements." It seems like it is even really difficult to get in without the things that are "highly recommended." I think in rare circumstances a few students have been given conditional acceptances if they are finishing up a class or something.

i am finishing up my english class and they gave me unconditional acceptance without knowing the outcome of that class.

You will definitely need the prereqs to be considered.

I wrote the MCAT but I think now they require MCAT if ur GPA is below 3.3. I keep hearing ppl being told to write their MCAT's even though they state its strongly recommended.

Also, don't expect to get in if you have not met their requirements.

It is still NOT required.

I just applied and I didn't take the MCAT.
I called them and asked and they said ONLY IF YOU HAVE LEFT SCHOOL FOR MANY YEARS OR TOOK COMMUNITY COLLEGE COURSES

There are a fair number of nurses (RN and NP) at the school. They got the prereqs somehow.

If you're having trouble with the pre-reqs, consider the premed program at Nevis.

Salutations:

Plenty of nurses and PAs here at Saba. If you don't have the prerequisites, then it's probably cheaper to take the courses at a community college as opposed to attending the premed program at MUA Nevis. Ciao.

My understanding is that you can get with with all the required stuff but you have to show evidence that you meet the criteria that they have established (which focuses on passing the USMLE).

if you don't have chemistry, for example, you can maybe get away with that if you scored really well on the mcat section that has chemistry in it (biological section). It would be a long shot but it might get you in the door.

best way to find out is to apply.
