MD & DO How do night classes affect your chances?

I am taking 9-12 hours a semester all at night as I do work a 9-5 job and have been for the past 2 years. My concern is that medical school admissions will look down on this little amount of classes per semester and that it will take me much longer than the traditional student. My current GPA and sGPA are both 4.0 and I have not taken MCAT yet. Any thoughts or experience on how med school admissions would view this situation?

I don't think adcoms would even know if your classes were day or night. At least for me, my official transcript from my Uni did not distinguish night classes from day classes.

If anything working full time while maintaining a killer GPA in classes will help you. At worst, neutral.
