What’s your EFC?
Please realize that being premed does not mean you’re taking medical classes. You’re taking regular Intro to biology with biology majors, regular Intro to Physics with physics majors… The difference is that you have to be top 10-20% in every class.
You major in anything you’re strong at. There’s no benefit to being a biology major (in fact there are so many if them that you probably should pick something else.)
Being a CNA will allow you to get experience. Research experience is also useful.
A good school for Premeds is collaborative, limits weedout, and offers plenty of support/resources (such as free tutors, learning assistants, review sessions, etc.)
You want to avoid colleges that weed and if possible take your premed pre-reqs at a 4-year college, not a community college.
Those classes will be spread over 3 years if not 4, and will include two semesters each of biology, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, and English (composition and communication), as well as one semester each of biochemistry, sociology, psychology, a diversity-focused class, calculus, biostatistics or statistics. Some med schools appreciator if you have fluency in a world language or a class in neuroscience.

As far as making your profile stronger, I’d take AP calculus AB and AP chemistry.
