Did you write the MCAT? Where is your education from? I would say not having submitted an MCAT score didn't help you. Send them an e-mail and they should be able to give you a proper explanation as to why you didn't get in.

Wow that is shocking! I know a guy who got into Saba with a 3.0 last year and he didn't write the MCATs or having anything spectacular. I mean he got into the may semester but still. Where is your education from, that might be the reason why.

That is shocking, I would think even if they were full for Sept. they would offer you a spot for Jan. Hmmm, maybe it was the MCAT... I would seriously call and ask why. Undoubtedly, you will get in elsewhere, but none of the big 4, without an MCAT, and with those stats you should definitely aim for the big 4. Good luck

BDS...so that would mean that you attended a non U.S./Cdn dentistry school, as thats a British degree vs. DDS awarded here (like an MBBS degree given in place of M.D.)
so that would mean that you did dentistry school right after high school (either A level or inter - equivalent to grade 12 in U.S./ Canada).
perhaps you didnt get in on the basis of not having an undergraduate degree/ credits for SABA? and maybe thats why they asked you to apply to MUA and complete the 'pre-med' stuff.

sorry to hear that you didnt get in, but if you got in to St. George's, consider going there - as its the top carib school.
