What would be the best choice for me?

2 letters of recommendation from 2 pharmacist and 1 ochem professor from community college.

or 1 letter of recommendation from a pharmacist, one from a University Biochem professor, and 1 from my ochem professor from community college.

Would it be best to have a variety? like one from a university?

Which ever knows you the best and can vouch for you. I had two upper division professors and one professor and worked out for me fine.

I would get a recommendation from your university professor if possible.

2 from RPhs, 1 from university biochem prof.

No one respects a CC prof, sorry 🙁

You only need one from a professor. Whichever one you have better rapport with is the one that I would go with. Then go with the pharmacists.

Well, I wouldn't go that far. I think it's more the adcom wants to hear from a professor that saw you while you were taking a full course load, their views on you as a full time student at a university level class.

If you feel the CC professor could provide a LOR that offers a similar insight, maybe you talked to the professor about how you were working full time supporting yourself, while taking 3 classes, the LOR might be equally good.

That aside, Carboxide is also partially right. The adcom might take the word of a PhD research professor over a professor teaching at CC.

Not sure it would be so black and white as that. I took courses at both a university and a CC. There were Ph.D professors at my CC that I would've chosen to write a LoR over some of my University professors. I think you hit the nail on the head there though with the fact that the ad com is looking for information about your ability to handle a difficult workload whilst maintaining composure. My suggestion is go with whatever professor you feel is more personable (likely to write a more readable letter) and with whom you've had more contact with. You need to have someone who actually has stuff to write about you.
