I’m currently a sophomore in college and I plan on taking my pharmacy technician exam in a couple months to get my certification. With this, I hope to gain more pharmaceutical experience. Will this boost my chances of being accepted into pharmacy school?

Generally no. However, work experience might bolster your application, once you have been an employed pharmacy tech.
It’s a common question, but generally, PAs don’t have an easier time getting into med schools, nurses’ aides don’t have an easier time getting into nursing school, and pharmacy techs don’t have an easier time getting into pharmacy school. You are weighed in just like everyone else.
No. Good grades will help being accepted. Having pharmacy related experience is a plus, but not a pharm tech certificate.
Having experience will help you and the certification can’t hurt. Is it worth the trouble of obtaining is a better question. I would advise you to ask a Pharmacy AdCom. I believe a similar question was addressed on the site referenced below.
