I'm 50% native Hawaiian and was wondering if pharmacy schools look for minorities for their incoming classes? Is this something that makes you unique or could they care less? Just wondering...

I am a minority as well. If you mention it in your personal statement in a good way, it will help you. That's what I did. Also, I talked about it during my interviews.

Anyway you can make yourself distinct and unique from your other competitors in getting in, go for it What may seem like the "norm" to you, may be unique to the admissions committee reading your information.
I'm technically a "minority" but you wouldn't think that seeing as I'm indian and going into healthcare.
That being said, I didn't bother specifying I was a minority anywhere (they could see that themselves when I interviewed). I don't think it'd really help or hurt your chances unless you're somehow able to tie in the minority aspect of your life into an advantage. I don't know, though. Just my 2c

In general if you are a woman (I see you are not) and a minority, it can be a strength. Otherwise, you want to be a Black or Mexican male, with Blacks getting the biggest "curves" in their application for being a minority.

Are you Native American or do you trace your ancestry from the Indian subcontinent? Because the former gets you a sweet full-ride scholarship via the Feds while the latter doesn't really help you much.

The indian subcontinent, so I don't get any perks in school. Mostly just get eye rolls when I tell people I'm going into pharmacy/healthcare field cause I'm yet another Indian going into that field haha
