I don’t think being in school is ever a waste of time, no matter what college you are attending… just do the best you can, wherever you are! Get good grades, go premed and excel in the prereq’s, do volunteer and service in your field of choice, and study hard for the MCATs, talk to doctors or anyone that may be able to answer your questions… most of all remember that your goal is attainable and keep striving. It sounds like you are on the right track now! Good luck[
