Nervous about not getting in....

Okay, so I am a rising sophomore who, just recently, decided she wants to go to nursing school. The problem? I am so nervous that I'm not going to get in. At my school, we have 500 applicants; only 166 get in. The competitive GPA is a 3.5/3.6 and all the applicants are stellar...or so it seems.

I haven't finished all the prereqs, but as of now, I have a 3.96 GPA. I have volunteered at my local hospital for a few summers, and I am planning on doing some volunteer work at a Nursing home and another hospital as well as take two prereqs for nursing. I have also done some medical-oriented articles for my school newspaper...but I am STILL nervous.

I'm afraid if I don't get into the BSN program, that will just add more years to graduation (which it probably will) as well as more college debt. I would like to have a backup plan.

If I don't get into my school's BSN program, should I drop out of college and get an Associate's instead?
