I dont know about your chances, but I think you need some experience under your belt. What extracurriculars are you involved in? Students with no experience or extracurriculars get into pharmacy school with stellar GPAs and PCAT scores. I for example, got in with average GPA and PCAT, but an outstanding resume, which included research, 5 yrs as a pharmacy tech, executive board of 3 university organizations and extensive amounts of volunteer experience.

Sift through all the schools on PharmCAS and check out their average GPA of accepted first year students. Apply to the schools with average GPA of accepted students similar to yours and I think you will be ok. In the mean time, I suggest you volunteer for a hospital or something. People with experience in health care generally have a good idea of why they want to pursue it and adcoms like to see highly motivated and determined individuals. Experience will also give you something to talk about in your personal statement. Good luck!

For UOP/UCSF, your GPA is in an acceptable range (lower end for sci GPA). Your acceptance will depend pretty heavily on other factors (Personal statement, LORs, ECs, leadership, interview).
