West coast parent here – you should probably talk to some of the students who have entered University of the Pacific for pharmacy. It is NOT a guaranteed entry to the 5-8 year program like NU and URI if you keep your grades up. There is an interview after your sophomore year to choose those who progress. Not all pre-pharm majors are accepted and very few now for the 5 year track. Most have a 6 year plan or a BS degree with a 7-8 year plan so the costs are higher than a 5-year plan projection.
