Part time senior year and MBA admissions

So I am an incoming college senior at college who intends to do an MBA after working a few years in consulting.  I only need to take 5 more classes to graduate.  Would it look bad to take 3 in the fall and 2 in the spring, which would put me at a non full time course load for the year.  Would an MBA admissions committee look down at that? I am concerned because I also did my entire junior year (online) pass fail.  I do have over a 3.9 gpa in my first 2 years.  

I considered graduating early, but since part time is cheaper, it wouldn't be any more expensive than going full time in the fall. Plus, I lost over a year of college due to COVID-19, so I don't want to cut it short.
