How do you think I stand up?

Should I go for any Early Descisions?

Should I forget 0-6/ early assurances entirely and just do 2 years prepharm?

Should I add any Schools to my list?

Anything I forgot?

DONT BE AFRAID TO BE BLUNT
 
I don't have any experience with 0-6 programs as far as acceptance with high school stats, but your grades and test scores look pretty decent. Your gpa is maybe a little low but your SAT scores are very good. If I had to re-do prepharmacy/the admissions process I would enter a 0-6 program. It's an entirely different mentality to know that you will enter the professional program merely if you get passing grades. When you are taking classes in preparation for 2+4 schools you feel like you HAVE to get mainly A's and even then nothing is guaranteed. In short, 0 +6 programs will save yourself a lot of stress from having to worry about the application process/money for apps & travel/volunteering.
