My english pre-req will be over 6 years old when I apply. Will I seriously have to take english comp I and II again?

I figured I'd ask here before calling schools.

The exp. date is below the barcode....

No courses don't expire, however they like to see recent academic work if you've been out of school for ages....

you're fine 👍

Only reason I asked is because Umass wants the classes to be as recent as 6 years. I figured other schools have a similar policy.......

I think you are fine. what is your degree in? But regardless, you may want to take MCAT and if you do well, ask the schools if they will consider you with the pre-req's which you have all ready done but a long time ago. If they refuse, then I guess you will go have to go back to school... There are many schools which offer premed post-bacc's which are designed for non-tradiotional students to finish pre-req's within 1 to 2 years.
