My program is the best in the county. We have a 95% NREMT first attempt pass rate (according to the director) and the EMT’s who finish from my program are the best. Not only that but my instructor is a flight paramedic and has won many state awards. So I think my program is pretty decent…

In addition, I’d understand your statement if the average report from the preceptors wasn’t a D+ for students. The preceptors are known for being aholes and ruining grades. The only way you will get a C is if you are a good EMT. Again, I’m one, if not the only student who got A’s from my clinical rotations, which proves that I’ll make a decent EMT. If I was s*, I can promise you the paramedics wouldn’t give me a good score. Again, age isn’t everything. Me, who’s an apparently immature 17 year old “who shouldn’t be allowed on an ambulance”, will probably make the best EMT out of the entire class. Not trying to be arrogant, just saying. You can’t always judge someone by their age. That is one of my pet peeves.

Secondly, I know that you are required to take the actual courses and you can’t use AP credit unless you take upper levels for that course blah blah blah (but again, that is dependent on the medical school), but that’s not the point I’m trying to make. I stated that you can take 3/4 of the courses in high school to support my point that it’s really not that many courses and in reality, you can learn the knowledge of three of the 4 courses in high school.

Plain and simple, if the OP wants to get her BSN, she can get it. If she has to spend an extra year in college finishing up her premed courses, oh well. It’s still plausible, and obviously you aren’t going to change my opinion on the subject and I’m not going to change your opinion on the subject, so I guess we will just have our differences.
