Pre reqs split between post-bacc and CC?

Hello. I will be taking a course at a formal post-bac program this fall. I want to start off with only one course this fall, but want to bump it up to two starting spring semester. In order to “catch up” and complete my pre reqs in two years, I would have to take in the spring, one course at the formal post bac and one at my community college, followed by a summer course at community college. This is due to the post-bac schedule only offering Physics 1 for example in the fall, and Physics 2 in the spring.

Will it look strange on my application if I have all but two courses at the post bac? I’m planning on completing my physics sequence at CC. I don’t want it to look like I’m trying to take the easier version of these courses, but unfortunately it’s the only way I can catch up and complete my pre reqs in the timeframe I’m aiming for! Will this have little impact on my overall application?

I should add I’m a non trad making a career change, so I’m not using the post-bacc to re-take courses or help my gpa!

If the Physics ones are your only CC classes and you get 3.7+ in the majority of the post back classes (particularly OChem) then you should be fine. I would recommend, however, that the majority of your time be full-time with the post-bacc
