Take the SAT junior year. Get into a decent state school. Use all the AP credits your school allows you to use, just make sure to take upper division classes as well. You don't need the subject tests. As far as pre-med goes, take your prerequisites, get clinical experience, and volunteer a bit. Rock your MCAT, and rock your interviews. It really is that easy.
Also, you're a new guy. Allow me to be the first to politely point out that everything you could possible want to know about AP credits, standardized tests, and everything else that pre-med entails is easily found via a quick forum search.
Have at it.

I agree with a lot of this, but I've seen mixed responses about not taking the lower level classes as well, regardless of AP credits.. I think it is always good to have a refresher (if you think you'd like it of course). also, subject tests aren't required for pre-med like bandgeek said, but many of the top schools require them so take them if those are what you're looking to apply to.

1) Take AP and focus not on getting the 100 but learning everything you can about those classes. Doing that helped me out immensely in college and has given me a strong base for my MCAT prep.
2) SAT for undergrad.
3) SAT II should be done in the summer after you have taken those classes

There are no really specific "pre-med" colleges.. Most should prepare you enough for the MCAT and medical school. My advice would be to avoid community college if you can (because there is controversy on whether it hinders your application or not as far as I've seen, and if you can avoid the chance of something hurting you, do it) and pick your college according to your interests, fit, location, ect. If you do that, you will probably have a much better chance of excelling at the college you choose than if you chose solely on whether they are a "good pre-med school" or not. Good luck 🙂
