I wouldn't even recommend it. It gets too hard to go from working as a pharm tech to going back to school. Grades and other extra curric stuff (like volunteering, but not necessarily) are more important. Get a good PCAT score. That will be important to help show that your grades aren't because you went to an easy school. You don't need a bachelors to get into pharm school if you've fulfilled all the pre-req courses. Go ahead and apply. If you don't get in, than finish up your degree and apply again after you have a bachelors. Some companies pay for your Pharm school, but it's usually a loan repayment program. You're going to have to take out loans and pay for pharm school. The loan repayment programs don't start until you're out of school and have already got the debt to your name (sometimes they don't kick in until you've worked for a couple of years for the company). Veterans Affairs and some retail pharmacy companies have these programs. Pharm Tech experience is not required. I wouldn’t even recommend it.
