so i didn't get into the schools i wanted to

now what.

i'm in San Francisco now and moving back to NJ for personal reasons aug 1st.

i have a BA with a cum. 2.3 gpa(i know, i was younger then and didn't value academics as i do now) which is not good enough to get into the schools i wanted. FDU, Rutgers, and Seaton Hall. I thoght they would atleast look at the work i've done in my current classes at City College with a solid 3.8 gpa after 3 semesters and consider my aplication. i've been working in hospitals/clinics for 4 years and love the people i work with and think that i've found what i want to do with my life. but i'm doing insurance coding now and i miss working with real people not managers and ICD-9/cpt codes.

i already have a degree and need to get going.

any recomendations would be very helpful.

did the programs i applied to all looked at the GPA i had and nothing more?

should i go to a community school?

i'll be living in East Hanover NJ anything with in 40 miles i guess will do.

please help, i just got these rejection yesterday and i don't know what else to do...
