From a career changer perspective who hadn't taken any of the prerequisites prior, would taking only these plus a couple of upper divs (biochem, cell bio, and genetics) be fine for a post-bac? I did this DIY over 5 semesters totaling 52 credits and got a 4.0, but had to quit my job to be able to take those courses (they weren't available outside of my work schedule).

I attended an info session today about post-bacs and it seems that everyone else's concept of a "post-bac" meant going through a formal program and taking purely upper division/graduate level courses to demonstrate academic rigor.
 
nah you’re fine as long as you hit the prerequisite classes in DIY way, doesn’t need to be a formal post-bacc program.
