I recently switched to premed as a Junior, so I'm currently trying to fit in my remaining prereqs into my schedule. I am in a major that has a fixed schedule for senior year, and it would be difficult for me to take a lab during that year. I still need orgo lab and another bio lab. I'm planning to take my bio lab next semester, and am considering taking orgo lab this winter. My question is: Is it looked down upon to take orgo lab over the winter or summer? Thank you!
 
For context, I have already taken orgo 1/2 in the summer to try to catch up, and I would be taking the lab in person at my university.

No. Why on Earth would you think this?

I don't see any problem with doing this, because the closer you get to graduation the less wiggle room you have in your schedule while still fulfilling the requirements for your major. I do think labs should be taken in person & not online, sounds like you plan to do that.
