Hi, I apologize for lengthy post, but I'm at my breaking point and need advice. I'm in my third junior year at my local community college as a pre-nursing student. I finished all my nursing pre-reqs on December 2016. A little bit about my grades: My GPA is 3.50 but with the classes that I'm taking this semester, it will bump up close to 3.6. Unfortunately, I have a C in anatomy, B+ in physiology, and B in microbiology. I took anatomy in my first year of college and I didn't realize how devastating that C would be when I transfer. I applied for BSN program at the private school for Spring 2017 and I was rejected. I also missed the deadline for state schools for Fall 2017 semester, and I applied again to the same private school for Fall 2017, and unfortunately, I was rejected yet again. I called the school and they said nursing department isn't going to send out letters until April 1st but I got mine like 3 days ago...I have a feeling they didn't even look over my physiology grade which I completed last semester and my essay after they knew I was rejected the semester ago...
I'm running out of options, I feel like. My parents have been pressuring me to transfer out and my friends with different majors already transferred out to UCs and CSUs and I feel like I'm stuck at the community college. With the uncertainty of when I will be accepted, I don't think I'd want to wait forever until I get in. I feel like that would be so much time wasted.
Meanwhile, I set up an appointment with the advisor from the private college to see what I need to work on and if I need to retake anatomy. I do plan to reapply for Spring 2018. I'm also considering to take business classes while I wait for my hopeful acceptance letter, and if I don't get accepted for Spring 2018, I think I'm just going to transfer out for business although my parents are against it. I talked with them last night and they expressed their major disappointment in me. They said they feel like the past 3 years of me taking nursing pre-reqs would be a waste of time if I change my major to business at the last minute. However, if I start taking business classes this summer, I would be finished by Spring 2018, in time to transfer out for Fall 2018. I thought about LVN-BSN or CNA-BSN bridge programs, but my parents are not fond of either ideas citing that LVN/CNA is not something that I should even consider when I'm still young and can try for BSN.
At this point, I have too many thoughts and extremely overwhelmed. I don't know what steps to take or what choices are the right ones. I would really use advices from those who have been in similar situations as mine OR even any advices to help me out. Thank you in advance!
Edit: I also want to add that I'm almost at 100 units. I took too many classes that I didn't need but I thought would need. Those classes brought down my GPA a lot last year, and I had 3.76 GPA. If I decide to go for business, would 100+ units would be considered and be a factor when deciding acceptance/rejection?
