September 2007 Interview
Hi everyone, I just had my interview with Saba, and just thought I would share my experience with you all as it might be helpful.
The experience overall was extremely positive, and there were absolutely no negative parts of the interview. The only thing that was difficult was that it was hard to hear the admissions committee over the phone. Do make sure that you are in a quiet place!
I wasn't really asked any 'traditional' questions (i.e. why do you want to be a doctor). This makes sense as it was already outlined in my personal statement. I really got the feeling that they wanted to know more about who I am as a person, which really impressed me. I won't discuss specifics, as that isn't really fair, but I can say that we discussed issues such as life on the island, the USMLE, and Saba's impressive matching and low attrition rates.
I can tell you that the interview for me was an ideal way to ask more in depth questions about student life and the opportunities Saba presents for a potential future student. They were really helpful in that respect. Overall, the interviewers were very nice and polite.
I feel positive about the interview, and here are some pointers that might help you. One thing is that you should really do your research about the school. Know why you want to attend and think about if this school is really for you. By doing this, I think that your desire to be a Saba student would really show in the interview.
Anyway, to cap off the interview they said I'd hear back in a week or 2. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
Anyway, I hope this helps, and good luck to anyone with an upcoming interview.
