Sorry I was so slow to reply, I see you found your answers. First, Harvard shuts down the server every night- so just heads up on that.
Next, TESC will give you 12 credits for your Spanish CLEP, that's an awesome score. So, you also have your English done and your knocking out FEMAs. You're on your way. Summer session might be hard for 2 reasons- first, TESC makes applying for graduation a marathon event. You need to file early, and I think you'll miss the deadline. TESC has a way of building in MONTHS to a simple process. BUT, summer session is more $ than full spring/fall sessions, so you can save a few hundred dollars per class. Also, you'll have time to apply for financial aid!
I'd suggest looking at either TESC's Liberal Studies, Social Sciences, or Humanities. Any of those are the broad plans that allow major flexibility (but not Natural Sciences- you can't take those if you want to go to Harvard). I know for a fact you can test 100% out of Liberal Studies or Social Science- not sure about Humanities. Don't quote me, but I'm pretty sure all of the "majors" at TESC will require at least one course, so again, I'd suggest either Liberal Studies (or is it called liberal arts?) or Social Science.
You should have no trouble doing this in 6 months if you hit the books and set a brisk testing pace. Please keep me posted, I would love to hear how it's going. Also, I would love to talk to someone who does the health certificate program- I'm trying to nudge my son in that direction, but he isn't too interested LOL.
As far as I can recall from searches, I don't think anyone here has went on to med school yet (law school yes) so that would be AWESOME!
