Im going to start my fourth year in the fall and my science GPA is a 3.1 and I wanted to at least get it to a 3.3 by the end of next summer. Would taking 2000 level courses on psychology and astronomy look wierd on my transcript? Would they even count towards my pharmcas science GPA?

You need to take more science classes and make sure you make A's.

Astronomy wouldnt get you very far. Pharm schools are more interested in your science courses
 
what about ecology classes?

I know that those are the types of classes I need but I cant really seem to get higher than B+'s on any of those types of classes so I figured keep getting Bs and B+s on the core classes but that wont make my gpa any higher. so i figured takin other science class like astronomy or ecology (which I can get As in) would put me where i want to be.
 
I took astronomy and I thought it was every bit as tough as physics. An A in that class and ecology will help your science GPA. Psychology, though, is a social science and an A in it would only improve your overall GPA.
