You know, this bothers me:

Maybe because I wasn't fortunate enough to have the money to even pursue it. I was also held back in preschool so I don't want to do 8+ years of schooling in California. I'm at the 80 percentile I guess because I can get a 1200 SAT.
Discounting your nasty attitude, I just have some advice:
1. Pharmacy school takes 6 years, not 8.
2. Don't blame a year of preschool for problems 15 years later.
3. Most pharmacy students I know have big loans and work part time as well, so you would have lots of company there. In fact, I know kids who borrowed every dollar beyond their paychecks.
4. I can't really comment on you grades, but I agree with you that it might be tough to get admitted with those stats, at least where I live.

Where there is a will, there is a way. Whether in pharmacy or engineering or w/e, you will be more successful if you have a positive attitude and look for ways to overcome obstacles, rather than wallowing in negative thoughts.
