I am a rising sophomore and I have a 3.7. But I am extremely worried about stuff like orgo and biochem. I am doing a short lab intern during the summer and I got certified as a pharm tech.

Are you on crack? UCSF gives preference to California residents; I'm doubtful a 3.0 from a California resident even gets an interview.

I am (was way back) an international student, or immigrant. With respect to your dream of Pharm.D., what would you do with the degree? Are you planning to stay, move forward from the J visa, try for an H visa? Get a work sponsorship?
Not throwing shade at your UCSF dream, but there are 100 other options to get your Pharm.D., and if you are going back home, it will not matter where you got the Pharm.D.
