your PCAT is low. Mine was 92. Why are you switching from ME to pharmD? if it is for the money you will be making more as an engineer. THere are literally no hours avaliable for new grads and it's only the tip of the iceberg. when you grad. from pharm you will be lucky to get 5 hours PRN a week and you will have to drive 1.5 hours to a different store everyday.
 
You are throwing a perfectly good degree (mechanical engineering) that you already paid and worked for in exchange for one that will set you back $200k+ in loans with worse job prospects, work-life balance, and take home pay. I would stick with mechanical engineering.
