I think you will have a good chance. Most pharmacy shools will take into account that many people struggle to adjust to college their freshman year. Your high GPA in science and math courses will help also. Some school require you to write an essay or even interview. Make sure you address how you have adjusted after your freshman year and have a 4.0 your last three years. Stress how you have been committed to you studies which is evident with your improved GPA. Also make sure you scored well on the PCAT and try to get as much experience as possible either working as a pharmacy tech or by shadowing a pharmacist.
Good luck.

I don't know where you live but I know at the University of Houston the average person accepted into the pharmacy school had a GPA of 3.5. Work experience was important to them too. They are not just going to look at your first year they are going to look haw you improved

You have a pretty good chance. Most schools will recognize the fact that you have problems freshman year, but improved in the other years. A person with your grades should get accepted somewhere.
