Denied twice!!! :(

[minniiemee]

Okay I'm starting to lose hope here. I applied to nursing school at wayne state twice and got denied. So far my grades are good but I do have to Cs which I know are mainly the reasons on why I didn't get accepted. So now I plan on taking the Clep for the two classes which is a bio and chemistry class. I have already retaken one class so I can't retake the two. Why don't I just apply to other schools? Well because they have different requirements and extra classes and test will have to take in order to get into their program. Honestly I feel as if nursing may not be for me but then if I switch my major I have wasted 5 years of my life. I have no more classes to take like all of my general education classes are completed and I'm just trying to get into the program. Has any one taken the biology and chemistry clep if so was it hard and how long did you study and what materials you did you use

two C's on any Nursing Pre-Req application outright kills any chances.

Nursing programs at investor-owned schools of questionable repute (e.g. ITT Technical Institute, Brown Mackie, Platt, South University, Colorado Technical U, University of Phoenix, Walden, Chamberlain, Lincoln Tech, Fortis, West Coast U, Everest, Carrington) usually accept applicants with 'C' grades.

I honestly only recognize 3 of those schools out of the bunch, had no idea they even had nursing programs. How are their NCLEX passing scores and accreditation?
