Hi there, I just entered my local community college(DVC) as an undecided major(maybe english/math) and before I entered college I came from an overseas high school with a bad education and we only had K-10 instead of K-12. I was a B student in HS and now I am doing great at my classes that I have taken. So my question is should I go beyond full time(12/15units per sem) to fulfill the prerequisites of the needed premed? For example in a semester I plan getting Eng, Math, Psych, ( and adding maybe an introductory to integrated biology/chemistry).
I never really had any experience science classes with labs except for theory/lectures and I’ve only touched a damn microscope a few times in my entire life. I’m worried that the lowest course for the specific premed would be difficult already for me because of something I never learned.

Talked to a counselor and she didn’t seem to understand that what I need for the science premeds should have Labs and all the crap confuses me what classes are appropriate for me and what I should take.
Anyways, do you recommend me taking 18unites per semester to do the preqs of the premed course(with courses for my major )that I need to get to? Or should I solely focus on getting my degree to transfer to a university then go back to comcollege to get the premed courses and do the higher courses at uni?
