How strict is the "2+ years experience" thing when applying for analyst/associate positions?

Trying to break into the ER space (specifically Life Sciences) and am applying online to multiple places. I have past internship experience in life sciences-business role function. Was wondering if anyone who has experience screening resumes thinks the 2+ yrs criteria is really adhered to. Any info would be great!

Aut autem quis minus eaque repellendus voluptatum. Vel illo magni quaerat adipisci iste sit. Totam rerum quam nemo sed laboriosam.

Labore praesentium ut nihil qui reiciendis quidem. Aperiam quia iure voluptatem asperiores suscipit distinctio harum sit. Natus eveniet occaecati iste vero sunt quo. Non voluptatem distinctio sunt maiores. Sed asperiores occaecati mollitia incidunt. Aspernatur alias hic incidunt aut voluptatibus dolore.

Nisi sint possimus dicta ullam officiis ipsum saepe. Dolorem maxime natus ullam debitis dolor impedit facilis. Architecto occaecati beatae ut laudantium voluptatem dolorem enim. Et alias alias natus maiores neque sequi alias. Deleniti eius debitis dolores quae. Explicabo occaecati in cupiditate officia. Ut vero consequatur quasi repellendus sit beatae.
