Well, Warnborough University is simply NOT accredited by an agency that meets most people's standards (and by far, does not meet medical educaiton standards for preparation). Be forewarned about this program, for this distance education pre-med education program is neither approved nor accredited and may very well bite you in your butt....

It is a shame that Saba University School of Medicine (SUSM), which was on the pathway of being something golden, could offer "direct entry" to unaccredited Warnborough College graduates that spend "30-weeks" post-high school or even less education. I now feel sorry for the Saba graduates...

Everyone considering the program or Saba should look at it and decide for themselves regarding quality, rather than take someone else's hasty words on a forum as fact.
Here's a better link to info regarding Warnboruough:

It appears to be based on the UK system. Just make sure that the premed program is equivalent to 90 hours course work of undergrad in the US, as required for licensure by many states in the USA.
I would personally stay away from distance learning, to be safe, as state licensure boards seem to frown on it....but keep in mind that many people have taken undergrad courses via distance learning and done just fine.

It may be cheaper, and yes, even easier to just take your pre-requisite undergrad classes at your local college or university. This program seems targeted mainly towards non-US students.
In conclusion, I have yet to see Saba steer students wrong, but...investigate all angles carefully!
Just my 2 cents -W

Why would you risk your ability to practice medicine by attending this program?

Some if not most state require 90 credit hours of undergraduate/pre-medical coursework completed with satisfactory grades from an US regionally accredited institution, or an school accredited by their national board of education. In fact, all of the states that have this requirement will ask that you have your foreign credential analyzed by certain US evaluators, and from my knowledge, Warnborough simply does not pass.

Here are the FACTS: Warnborough claims to be based in the UK, however, does NOT have ANY approval from neither the Councils nor Boards of Education in any UK region.

Moreover, Warnbourough made the headlines when a "student" Mr. Richard made MISrepresentations on an academic trip to China claiming to be versed in finance, while really "studying" engineering (read more at http://www.discourse.net/archives/2004/02/now_a_genuine_nightmare.html).

Here is more from the webpage:

"In fact, Warnborough is not a University but an Irish registered limited company. Its degrees are not recognized anywhere in the world although Julian Ng has decided himself a doctor. Whilst being banned in Australia they have signed up with an Australian accreditation agency which in itself looks rather suspect and certainly do not specialize in the accreditation of higher education institutions. This company's predecessor, Warnborough College, was an independent British further education establishment until they disappeared in 1995 after cheating a group of American students into believing that they were coming to study at Oxford University. The owner Brenden Tempest-Mogg emerged as a University President along with Mr Julian Ng [Mr. Richards mentor] two years later in London."

Be careful, for once you are branded, you usually remain branded….

Saba, if they have made such a huge mistake, can now rectify their errors before admitting such students...
