In case the classes you took don't meet the pre-requisite courses for your school or it's been a long time since you've taken that course, does the school tell you what classes you need to complete before you are admitted?
 
Did you compare your completed classes to each school's prerequisites?

If you call, I'm sure they would help you with an academic audit.
The pre-requisite courses that I am questioning are my year of English. I was in the military when I took those courses, and they match up with the school's requirement for English. Only issue is that it was online because of the nature of my work, but it was from a regionally accredited school. My other concern was that the courses were taken in 2007, and most schools that I applied to don't list a time restraint for their courses. When I started going to my brick and mortar school, I retook the first semester English course for poops and giggles; it felt ridiculously being in a freshmen English course. I have not retaken the second semester hoping that I won't have to.

I think I will give them a call, though. My reluctancy revolves around the fact that I submitted my application last Friday, and it's getting mailed out tomorrow. I don't want to be the guy that pesters the school so soon. Haha.

Thanks for the advice, though! It's greatly appreciated.
