Prerequisite

The best way to find out is to directly call the Admissions Office in Gardner, MA. However, I do believe that SABA is very strict regarding prerequisites. Given your background, there may be a possibility that they would waive some of the pre-requisites, however, in lieu of those courses they may wish to have you take and submit offcial MCAT scores.

But the sure way to find out would be to directly speak with Adm. Office. I know there are many students with PA, nursing, EMT, health care backgrounds so I cannot imagine them making so many exceptions to the course pre-requisites.

I'll only answer your first question since I didn't go to Saba. Pre-reqs as well as sitting for the MCAT are required. However, i'd call and explain your credentials, see what they say. You never know. However, I think it would be better for you to just do the pre-reqs, MCAT and stay in the U.S.

Best of luck!

My situation was VERY similar to yours 4 yrs ago. I had to finish prereqs before they would consider my application. Feel free to PM me if you wish.
