Answer 1

Any of those would be fine for pre-pham, since you mainly need to take the pre-pharmacy classes. So pick the one that interests you most, and that could make for a career that you like in case you change your mind about pharmacy.

Answer 2

Hi,

If you want to be a pharmacist, you may be better off taking micro/molec bio, or organismal/integrated bio.  Eco/Envi/Evol won't really help you much.

Does it matter?  I'd say it does, you want to take something that'll set you up for the harder courses in pharmacy.  I'd make the same choices if you want to apply to medicine or dentistry as well.
