Currently I am taking classes and my prerequisites at a community college but I am looking to get into Drake University. I need about 3 more semesters before I finish my prereqs but I already have 60 credits which is the max credits someone can transfer from my community college. I was wondering if I should just transfer to drake for this fall and get my bachelors degree (2 more years) rather than just finishing my pre reqs (this upcoming year plus summer term) at the community college then apply for Pharmacy school?

I'd say transfer, because it's good to have a backup plan since pharmacy school isn't guarantee admissions. If you go into Drake University and pharmacy school doesn't pan out, at least you can still finish your degree and not waste the 3 semesters of non-transferable credits from community college.
awhat if Pharmacy school DOES pan out?
Finish your prereqs at cc. It's much cheaper.
But he mentioned that he's already at the 60 credits transfer limit from cc to university. So if he finished rest of prereq and don't end up doing pharmacy/pharmacy school admission doesn't pan out he'll be stuck with wasted credits and unable to transfer more than 60 into a university to finish the degree.
