Should I take labs or lecture only DIY Postbacc

[troyafshari]

I'm starting a DIY postbacc this year, looking to mostly take upper level bios as I already did all the basic prereqs during my first undergrad and got a C or higher. My question is should I take the labs with these upper level bio courses, or just stick with the lectures (the classes are all offered with and without the lab)? I could most likely take four classes if I only do lectures, but probably will have to cut that down to three if they all include labs. Do admission committees care about these things, or will it just come down to my grades and how many credits I take.

If it is just upper level courses and you have already finished the recommended lab courses (like gen chem, intro bio, physics, ochem), the I would just take the lecture portions.
