I'm applying to the 2015 cycle and I am senior who almost has a bachelor in Biology and minor in Chemistry. Actually most of the people I know that are applying to pharmacy do at least 3 years before applying to pharmacy school. But then again, if you can get in with just 2 years of college, good for you!
in general, you can apply anytime in your 2nd year, i.e. you will have to have all the pharmacy prereq by May or August at the end of your 2nd year the latest, as most pharmacy schools only require 2 years of pre-pharmacy study. But like BlueHeron and NejiRockS said above, most will have 3 to 4 years/degree under their belts when they start their applications, probably due to the competition.
obviously...
its not always true because I called some of the top pharmacy schools and they said they prefer people who are actually in the 2 years pre pharmacy because they are taking more classes per semester so Its harder. I have a 3.6 GPA and 99 PCAT composite so I think they would take me over people who did more than 1 year since I didn't take half of the classes tested on the PCAT (no organic chemistry, anatomy, microbiology, statistics, biochemistry) and still got a 99
