You're kidding, right? With your grades you will get into a US school if you do okay on the MCAT.

Suppossing you have some really good reason to want to go off-shore for your MD, Saba will take someone with grades like this and 94 creds, no problem!

Why not just take the MCAT and apply to US schools? The hassles of taking the MCAT and going through the approximately 18 month application cycle of US schools seems to be less than the obstacles caribbean students can face. Saba will more than likely admit you if you don't get into a US med school.

Good luck!

Apply to a US school! You can also apply to Saba, but I would also try the US unless you are in a rush and don't want to wait a year to hear from the US school. I could understand that.
You could probably start with SABA in Sept? That would save you a year rather than via a US school.

Give the folks in Gardner about your prospects. They are pretty up-front about such things.

You would save a year if you could get into Saba, but it would cost you in the long run in terms of having a better shot at a residency of your choice. You can do just about anything coming from Saba, but you will always have a better choice coming from a US school.

Unless there is some other compelling reason you haven't mentioned, why don't you just wait the extra year and stay in the US?

Best of Luck!
