When I apply my gen chem 1 prereq might be 5 years old. Is it all the schools don't accept prereqs taken 5 years ago or just some?

Also, how does the time range work? Must you have taken the prereq within the 5 year period before you apply or before you start pharmacy school? For example, if I took Gen Chem 1 summer 2012 and I want to apply summer 2017(which is 5 years apart), they won't accept it?

In curious to know as well for other pharmacy schools which might differ. I know in undergrad they will/attempt to contain your transcript on file. I go to a state school and they just need to know if you have completed your pre-regs regardless of time-frame. Would be foolish of them to make someone retake 2 years of classes.

The Medical College at my school which caters hugely to diversity doesn't even require pre-regs officially. They assess you based on your MCATs/GPA and advise you to major in biological science degrees to prep you for the exam. Which I thought was neat.
