I took some unnecessary classes while I was in the Honors program and I am no longer in the Honors program. Unfortunately, I made a couple of Cs. My question is: will classes other than the prerequisites be ignored? If so, how do they recalculate my GPA without such classes?

In terms of PharmCAS, all classes you've taken will be factored into your cumulative GPA. They also break it out in more detail - like math GPA, science GPA, etc. - and each of these sections include all of the classes you've taken.
However, many schools calculate their own GPA for you, and those formulas are individual to each school. Some schools honor academic forgiveness; some calculate retakes differently. You would need to research / contact your prospective schools for the best answer.
Honestly, what's your cumulative GPA to this point? How much more do you have to go? (Are you, say, at year 2 of a 4 year program?)
If it makes you feel better, I got an F in Calc III... which isn't even required. Brought my cGPA down ~0.2, and I've taken a lot of classes. 🙄

It looks like UGA has their own application, so I'm not sure it applies to you.
PharmCAS is the centralized application system many schools use. As part of the application process, PharmCAS verifies your GPA versus official transcripts.
PharmCAS is a service by which you pay good money to have someone forward your application to pharmacy schools. For the schools that use it, it is compulsory. Too many schools and you pay extra. I am not even kidding. However thought that up, my hat goes off to you sir. 👍
I don't believe UGA uses PharmCAS, so no need to worry about it.
