1. The only way you will be able to get in pharm school is to STUDY HARD. Even if you get into a prepharm program you will have to work hard and get good grades in order to be accepted into the full pharm program.
2. No, you're misinformed. You're guaranteed a seat into the PharmD program only if you applied for the 0+6 PharmD program which is 2 years of undergrad and 4yrs of pharmacy. To enter the program, you'll need to apply during high school and your grades needs to be very high as well as your SAT scores and possibly some AP courses like chemistry. For all other 4yr PharmD programs, you'll need to apply after completing the pharmacy prerequisites and taking the PCAT.
3. slacker and pharmacy are not synonymous. the only way to guarantee a Pharm D. seat is if you get accepted into a program right out of high school. there are only a few schools that do this and hundreds of people apply, all with almost perfect SAT scores and at least 4.2 GPA's. If you don't have at least a 1200 on the old scores for the SAT they won't even look at you.
4. getting into pharmacy is cheap............graduating is expensive.
