EMT and CNA are great ideas, as is phlebotomy. A few other paths include medical scribing and lab research. Re: “getting ahead” in classes by studying actual science content: you might actually get just as much bang for your buck by doing some advance planning. Make a sample 4-year plan that gets the pre-med reqs, distribution requirements, and requirements for your desired major all taken care of. Then shake it around. What happens if you don’t get the classes you want for the first couple terms (this happens at large state schools)? What happens if you want to change your major? Etc. This isn’t to find some magical schedule, but to familiarize yourself with the realities of the Rutgers course catalog. It’ll also help you realize you don’t need to frontload all the hard, weed-out stuff (I did this; it sucked).
