Will I even qualify for 0+6 programs?

I'm a high school junior with an odd situation. I'm currently enrolled in an early college program at SPC as a full time student. By the time I'm 18 I will have completed my A.A. as well as finished my high school requirements. I pretty confident that I would like to become a pharmacist but because of the program, I'm extremely confused on how my admission process will work.

I would love to enter a 0+6 program, however since I will have a degree, can I be qualified? Or should I complete my pre-pharm reqs before I leave this program? My fear with that though, is since it is a community college, universities may not count the classes as being equivalent to their standards. Also since the pre-pharm reqs. differ program to program, I may not be qualified for multiple programs and be limited to my choices. And lets say I do chose that route and complete my pre-pharm reqs. and do not get accepted into a pharmacy program, then what would I do after that? Retake the courses? Major in something else?


I'm in a rush to find out my options because I already have to choose my spring classes this month & I need to know what to take. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you so much,
-Taylor

What schools are you looking at? MCPHS, for example, spells out exactly what their requirements are for the 0+6 program.

http://www.mcphs.edu/admission/boston/first_year/index.html

They say you have to have no more than 12 college credits to apply in the category of first year student.

The quote below was under the "Transfer" option

Any applicant who has completed at least one semester of college coursework (12 credits or more) is considered to be a transfer applicant. Students who have been out of high school for more than two years are strongly encouraged to take math and science courses at another accredited college or university and then to apply for transfer to MCPHS.
