Hi there!
I totally understand your situation since I did my pre-medical too. As far as my experience goes, there is not much difference between the maths courses offered in BBA and BCom, which is much simpler than the maths they teach at FSc, so don't let that daunt you, it's completely manageable for someone who has passed 10th grade maths.
About whether you should do your BBA or BCom, i suggest consider your own situation. BBA is a better option if you can afford to spend 4 years to get a good bachelors degree and then another two years for a masters, preferably MBA, because the job market for BBA graduates has never been very attractive. While BCom takes only two years and is less rigorous and you can land up an average job, the payoff is definitely higher if you do BBA and then MBA.
But then, unless you can get admission into the better-known places like IBA, LUMS, CBM, MAJU or SZABIST, it isnt of much use in building your career. If you cannot get into any of those places, I suggest you look at other other options like CA or ACCA or anything that fancies your interest, but BCom would be my last option.
My explanation might appear vague but as I said a lot depends on your circumstances, your career ambitions, and the amount of time and money you are prepared to invest. Consult with people in the field and choose wisely.
Hope that helps!
