It's definitely not too early to be looking at what schools you want to apply to. The main reason you may want to do this: most schools have different admissions requirements. All will require essentially the same courses but there will be a few extra classes that individual institutions require.

Therefore, if you plan now you can try to have all prerequisites covered for the schools you are considering. The more prepared and organized you are will make applying to pharmacy school much easier.

You can visit them, in person, to see if it's compatible with your personality/work ethic/etc.

Visiting the schools is one step to better understanding if a particular schools is right for you. Location, finances, public/private school, work environment are some of the factors you should consider when deciding. Like PharmDBee said, consider the prereqs which you must complete before matriculating so you can organize your college classes accordingly. On your spare time, it would be intuitive to browse and read the websites of your schools of interest.
