Does getting a bachelor's degree help your chances of getting into pharm school? Also, I heard that those who have taken courses at a university rather than a community college are more likely to be stronger candidates. Is that true?

Yes, taking classes at the university level is better. Pharmacy schools look at the level of difficuly you received while taking these classes. It is popular opinion that courses as a university are more difficult than those at a community college. So even though this popular belief might be a fallacy, it is still the way it is.
