Most schools require you to have a gpa of at least a 2.75 to be considered. Some require a 3.0 to be considered. There are only a few schools that will consider your application, so seek them out. Good Luck!
While schools do consider upward trend as mentioned above, you still must met their minimum requirement. On that note, your upward trend finishes with a 3.43 which while being fairly good, given the previous years you really needed more 'kick'. In my opinion the Adcom would have serious doubts about your schooling ability to be blunt, they would be taking a student who was only able to get into their average gpa range for 1 year. I would also be weary or which classes you took you're freshman year since a 1.86 means you failed at least one class. You must have all of the pre-reqs covered with a minimum of a C. I suggest you take the PCAT and do very well on it to give yourself a chance and apply to some of the newer pharmacy schools.
Some do and some take the most recent (in rare cases). You'll need to check each school independently for their policy on retaking courses. If nothing else, you can retake the prereqs and get straight A's just to show your maturity and supplement that upward trend.
Western (in California) has an academic forgiveness policy. They will let you substitute a more recent, higher grade and discount the older grade when averaging. But as pointed out you have your job cutout for you, it looks like you would need to retake 1-2 years worth of classes to get your GPA into the competitive range (especially for California schools).
Bottom line is, how much do you want it? To a motivated person, no barrier will stop them and anything is attainable.
Gotta raise that cumulative GPA to at least a 2.8 or 2.9 and score a 90+ or 80+ composite on PCAT to have a realistic chance at interview invites from non-california pharmacy schools. good luck.
It's easier said than done but doable. As stated above, how badly do you want to be a pharmacist?
Looks fairly good, but realize you're fighting an uphill battle when you already have 5 years of classes under your belt. You could get a 4.0 this semester and your cumulative gpa would barely budge. Thats why hopefully you are able to make a schools minimum gpa requirement, and also hope they notice your upward trend.
