When applying to DO schools, what is the maximum age your pre-med req's can be. For example, I have taken most of mine about 7 years ago. Will I now have to repeat them because they are too old? Thanks
It depends on the school about 'aging out' of transcripts. However, I am only aware of this practice at some MD schools. I don't think DO schools care. I know that CCOM and Touro both told me they would accept my 11 year old transcripts!
I've not had any problem with schools accepting biology and chemistry prerequisites that are ten yrs. old. I have taken more advanced classes in those areas since then and did well.
I'm over 8 years out, and the only problem I have had in the application process is getting CERTAIN MD schools to accept my letters of rec! I don't fit into the "science" and "non science" rec letter formula since I didn't keep contact with old profs. Check out the old-pre-med web site for more non trad info.
