The woes of an American girlie trying to study here

So I'm an American high school student (havent graduated yet) and I really want to study in Malaysia. I was hoping to go into an MBBS program only to be hit with the reality check of learning that it doesn't work like that. Since then I looked into A-Levels which I wouldn't be a viable option for me because if I were to take the tests as a private candidate I would have to skip a lot of school which would get me in a lot of trouble. I can't do IB since I'm not in an IB school. I did get a B in AP Physics which most Malaysian schools don't take since AP is an American thing. I've decided that I should probably just throw in my cards and do the Foundational Program. This is kind of embarrassing to admit but I kind of wanted to avoid the Foundation Program because from what I understand most Malaysian students go straight to MBBS after graduation at like 17. If I'm wrong PLEASE CORRECT ME OML. Anyways I'm worried that once I actually get into the program I'll be like the oldest person there and like really behind. I know it's a dumb thing to worry about but it is kind of weighing on me. Anyway, what do you guys think? Are there other ways for me to get college credit? Or maybe it's really not that serious and I'm just overthinking everything. Regardless, thanks for taking the time to read this :)
