A few observations:
Your friend is wrong saying your majors are useless for med school. Public health, comparative literature, English, SouthAsian studies and underwater basketweaving can get you into medical school if your GPA, MCAT scores and med-related ECs are good enough.
Your parents underestimate UCI.
You may overestimate the prestige of UCLA vs. UCI.
Have you carefully checked out the requirements for medical school and whether the CC classes you’ve taken there would count? I seem to remember my niece - who went from a CC to UCSB to medical school had to retake some sciences at UCSB.
Have you carefully checked out the requirements for comp lit? Back in my day, if you wanted to do honors in comp lit you had to have a year of Greek or Latin. Honors would look good on a med school application, but do you want to stay in school possibly another year?
