Hi, I've asked this question before but haven't received and have been unable to find a concrete answer.

I took some courses online my freshman and sophomore year, mostly gen ed but also the gen chem.

However, my chemistry classes had proctored exams in person at the testing center and all of the labs were also in person on campus. So pretty much just the homework and lecture videos were online.

So, am I still blacklisted from the schools that don't want online classes? I ordered my official transcript from my CC and I can't fond anywhere where it indicates that ANY of my classes were online. They don't even display the section number (course number - section number, like Che 111-11123 or whatever) so it gives the course number (which was the same for all classes online or not) but not the section number.


I just don't want to fill my application in wrong. But I took Organic Chem this semester in person and my tests were still done in a proctored testing center, the hw was turned in online, and the labs were in person. So I don't see that big of a difference between my one online pre req at my cc and the "in person" at my university...

Sorry for the rambling. I'm clearly a little neurotic with this...
 
I took three 400 level science classes online. None of them were listed as online on my transcripts, and nobody ever asked in my interviews. I think you'll be fine
 
You should be fine for the most part. Unless it specifically states on your transcript that the course was delivered online, schools really won't know. AFAIK, many online courses are considered the same as a regular class with the exception of labs. I also have heard that Harvard Extension teach physics online with a one week lab intensive. I'd imagine something like this is acceptable, if Harvard is offering the class, I'd imagine their medical school is also fine with it. I am not an admissions expert though.
