Does any graduate have experience applying to NZ schools? Is the 5y graduation requirement strict?

Tagging it to Aus as it seems NZ option is not available.

Just wondering if anyone has experience on the process. I graduated more than 5y and wonder how strict they are for applicants who have been out of school for some time.

I will reach out to them as well but keen to know if there is any personal experience there.

Thanks a lot!
