How many schools have a 5 year time limit on science courses?! My problem is that I am starting an SMP this Fall and am not even applying to dental school until NEXT year as I finish them up.

By then a few of my undergrad pre-reqs(gen chem, bio +labs) will be 5-6 years old, and that's if I am accepted in my first round of applications!!

Are these 5 year limits make you or break you/STRICTLY enforced?! I mean what do I do guys? Siddown and retake Gen Chem and Bio 1 after having earned an MS in Biochemistry ?!!

Fortunately, many schools do not have these harsh time limits, but tomorrow I'm calling in and asking them personally because a few schools I'm looking at do have them.

Any experience dealing with this you guys?

Calm down and use the search button. This has been covered so much.

Actually, I lied. Unique question. Call every school.
