I am already in my third year of college. I transferred to my current college while I was a freshman because no other school with a nursing program accepted me back in High School. I have completed all my pre-requisites and my cumulative GPA is 3.505. This Spring I plan on applying to the nursing program at the public college I attend to, but I have a very low chance in getting in because out of over 1,000 applicants there are only about 20 seats available. I don't want to be pessimistic but I just need to have a backup in case Plan A doesn't work. The fear of not being accepted is consuming me. If I don't get accepted into this program, my only other options are either transferring out to a community college and try to get an ADN (this would mean I would have to wait even more time to not even get a bachelors degree and get an associate's instead which I really had not intended), or transfer to an accelerated nursing program (which means I'd have to have a bachelors degree in anything other than nursing and I'd probably have to pay a lot of money, also I've heard accelerated programs are incredibly difficult). I could also invest in a CNA Program, but honestly I don't know if it's a good idea when I'm aiming to get a BSN as soon as possible. But now I know I won't be able to graduate within the 4 years like I'm supposed to. Please let me know of any suggestions you have, thank you ?
