leonardo08 Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 I somehow used 10 years to finish my bachelor. Some of the pre-med prerequsites I took are more than 10 years old. Does it mean that I have to retake those premed prerequsites before I can apply to an US med school? Also, do all US med school honor the 10 year rule? Thanks alot!

toffeetree Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 i've never heard of the "10 year rule" but it depends how long ago you finished the prereqs, and what you have done since. e.g. if you have been working on a phd in biochemistry or something, you should be ok for the prereqs. if not, most schools would probably ask you to take some of the prereqs again, because 10 years ago seems much too long if you haven't done science since then. i believe it varies from school to school, so the best thing to do is to email schools to see their individual preferences (this is important in general for international students and people with non-trad backgrounds...eg) before i started working on my AMCAS application in the summer, i contacted admissions offices in the spring for specific program information about prereqs, funding, etc.). just curious...i know there are lots of possibilities...why did it take 10 years to finish a bachelor's degree?

Tristan Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 I think I have heard of this ten year rule before...Is it something along the lines of "if you do not finish your degree in a ten year span you have to start all over because your credits are erased" ?
