Schools that like non-traditional applicants/have lenient prereq expiration policies?

Perhaps there's a strong overlap between those two groups?

Looking for a starter list to consider for application planning down the line. I was planning to scour MSAR for schools with higher median ages and clear policies on prereqs expiration, but was wondering if people have compiled and shared this list before.

I searched around the forum but couldn't find a definitive answer.

Thanks!

My medical alma mater, the University of Cincinnati, has no required prereqs and a lot of students over 30, though it varies by class. I am disabled and I started at age 37.

The vast majority of schools have no expiration on when you took the pre-reqs. Others state that if you took similar classes recently (for example, in a postbac or SMP) then that would be fine. This all makes sense because the MCAT, an exam that tests you on all of the pre-reqs, has an expiration date and schools will only accept you if you have an acceptable score.

Oh thanks for the info! I'll add it to the list (though not sure if I can live in a town where people put chili on spaghetti).
