frowned upon to take online classes for informal post bac?

Hi all,

I'm currently waitlisted at 4 schools and getting ready for the next cycle. Would it be looked down upon by ADCOMs if I took 3-4 online classes each semester from programs like UC Berkeley extension? I'm currently taking BYU Anatomy online and I've had a good experience with it, including scheduling since I'm working and cost is a lot lower too.

Thank you!

The purpose of a post bac is to show adcoms that you can handle a tough scientific course load. Usually, the rigor of online classes are not up to par with the same classes taught by a live instructor. If I had to guess I'd assume most schools would prefer a structured post bac program as opposed to a few online classes.
