Does everyone get an interview at SABA who applies? I recently got an interview but i'm wondering: does this mean i have an increased chance of getting in?

I think most people who are seriously considered get an interview. I have heard of few folks who didn't. I think your chances of admission might be obvious from how your interview went. Don't be worried though, because I have to admit that my interview probably wasn't the best.

Don't worry.

Best of Luck!

getting a call for an interview is a great sign, but now that they have become pretty strict on who they are accepting, the interview is will be one of the determining factors...but your difinitely a step ahead! good luck!!

What do you mean by "Saba becoming pretty strict on who they accept?" please elaborate

well, i mean to say that SABA is receiving a lot more applications and are becoming more selective in who they choose should attend the school....they arent juss accepting anyone who applies...and thats what makes SABA different from some of the other caribbean med schools...hence, getting a call for interview doens't automatically make you accepted to the school, its a great step ahead as there is something critical criteria in the application that the admissions committee likes about you and hence wants to get to know you a little better...
good luck!

Based on the numbers that we were presented during one of our introductions to administration, it appeared that last year about 25% of the students with completed applications were accepted. I am not sure that this number is "set in stone," but that is what they indicated during the intro.
good luck,
