What else do I need to get admission into a good Pre-Med program

If I choose to go for GW and GMU or local community college I can transfer my dual enrollment classes

It will depend on the policies of the individual schools, what classes you you took dual enrollment and whether they are required for your degree program.

HIM 111 Medical Terminology
HLT 105 Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
HLT 106 First Aid
MDL 100 Introduction to Medical Laboratory Technology
RAD 100 Introduction to Radiology and Protection
Pharmacy Technology

Unfortunately all of these classes are vocational classes and will not count towards your undergrad degree. (Intro to medical lab tech might, but only if you major in MLS.)

Prestige is of very minor importance when it comes to med school admissions; however, going to a CC then transferring means you will have to delay applying to med schools until after college graduation. If it is financially feasible, you should go to a 4 year college since that is the more common–and less pitfall ridden–path to medical school.

Choose a college that offers you the best combination of fit, affordability and opportunity.

Choose an academic major that you enjoy, that you can do well in academically (med school admission is very GPA-conscious) and that will offer you a Plan B career (75% of freshmen pre-meds never actually apply to med school and of those who do apply, 60% are rejected everywhere they apply.)
