I will be attending pharmacy school this fall. I filled out my financial aid packet. How does fasfa correlate to what type of loan a person gets? I also have bad credit. How will that affect me?

Unless to have previously defaulted on a student loan, government loans do NOT look at your credit. If your school's cost of attendance is close to the maximum amount that a Pharm.D student can borrow, you'll be able to cover the entire cost through subsidized/unsubsidized loans.

It's made so everyone can go to school.

However, when you go into repayment, it will be reported to all three credit agencies.
