Would it be a bad idea to include in my personal essay that I originally was going to school to be a veterinarian, but after working at a vet clinic I became very interested in the interactions of the medications with the animals. Or does it show lack of consistancy and could possibly hurt my application. I WANT SO BADLY TO GET INTO PHARMACY SCHOOL

Sure you can write that (just make sure that it's very clear that your experience at the vet clinic was a turning point in sparking your interest in animal medications and demonstrate what actions you took to explore that newly found interest).

Just tell the story about why you changed and what you found about pharmacy that prompted you to change.

Don't write something like "Pre-vet sucked and pharmacy sounded cooler".🙂
