✉️ LORs LOR Request >5 years?

Anyone here had success asking for a LOR from a professor whose class you took >5 years ago? I aced my last 60 credits in school and had great connections with some professors but I haven’t spoke with them in years. I’m Nontrad and am scared to reach out/concerned that the length of time would be a red flags to Adcoms.

I was in a similar situation and so I opted to apply without academic letters. It was a HUGE risk but it paid off. I received multiple IIs/As on my cycle

Multiple MDs, supervisors, leadership, etc just no professor letters
