I i aced nothing but A's in all the courses that i have failed..

what???? you mean the only A's you earned were in the repeated courses?

while the original F's were not impressive, you will be okay b/c:
1) it was your 1st year in undergrad
2) you retook them and got straight A's

next step?

don't get (any) F's--quite frankly nothing below a B. and be prepared to explain (on your application) why you got those bad grades 1st yr.

First of all, quite getting F's from now on. You can still apply to pharmacy school and have a good chance if you show that popular upward trend in grades. Fs are not the kiss of death in your application. A bad GPA that can't make the school's GPA minimum will make acceptances much more difficult. It sounds like you have rebounded well enough.
