Expired classes?

Has anyone here ever been told by a dental school that their prereqs were too old to be accepted? I haven't seen this on any DS's website, but I wanted to check from any personal experience any of you may have.

Thanks.

I was recently told by BU that they recommend the applicants to have recently been admitted in a Master's program, or be fresh out of college, to ensure that their courses were "up to date". That was the only time I've heard of this, so I'm not sure how prevalent this is.

I took the brunt of my pre-reqs in 2007-2008ish, so if that's "out of date" I'd be a little ticked.

FWIW, some of mine date as far back as '02 & '03 and I got an acceptance this yr 😀

same here took some prereqs in '02 and '03 and was accepted. The expired coursework is something that happens in med school admissions but rarely happens in d-school admission.

I have heard of 10 years thrown around on here, but I feel like everyone is probably applying with pre-reqs newer than that.
