Done with prereqs but can't get accepted!

[cnro]

I took a couple of years to finish pre - reqs for Brookhaven Community College nursing school in Dallas but finished them all and have applied to the school three times and can't get in. I have a 3.15 GPA and and have retaken the Hesi and have gotten higher scores each time. My points on this last application were in the same range as the lowest scores of those accepted the semester before but I still didnt get in! Does anybody have any ideas on why this might be?

Also, since I have been in school in general for a long time and pursuing a different degree before switching to nursing I decided while waiting to get accepted I finish some Associate Degree especially since I didnt have that much left. So in December I will have an Associate Degree in Science. Does anyone know if that will help me find a job in a hospital as a clerk or doctors office receptionist?

I am also trying to find options of other ADN programs but they all have different requirements. Collin County requires statistics and a different entrance exam while El Centro requires college algebra and an additional pre nursing class. Does anyone have any guidance for me??

Thanks for help guys! I'm getting so frustrated and want to be working in what I love!

I PROMISE I don't mean to sound snitty, but...

They really don't require an advanced math class there??? I would definitely look at doing that. If you decide in the future to go on to your BSN, you'll need it anyway- so it'll only help no matter what you do. (And yes, I'd also retake some of those classes you did not get an A in.)

Good luck!

Have you ever thought about going to a private school? I know, I know its expensive but maybe they will give you a chance.
