rejected by my University's Nursing school after I finish all my prerequisite?

You could try again, or send your transcript to a local community college and try there. If you get into that school, you can probably do an RN to BSN option.

My mom's friend got rejected from one of our state universities, but she applied to community college nursing and got in. She said that you could keep trying because the applicant pool changes each semester. Some semesters the top applicants will have a high GPA, and other times they may have just an okay GPA.

Sounds like you need to talk to a counselor at your school. I would suggest to apply to several programs as soon as possible because programs fill very fast. Best of luck to you.

I have no idea about acceptance rates. You could ask a counselor at your school or different schools.

At my school (UNM), my couselor said about 200 people apply every semester for 48 slots. ...96 people a YEAR?! It's very competitive and although I have a great GPA, I am really intimidated by the thought of other people and their GPAs. However, I'm going to keep giving it my all. :)

EDIT: Why not try applying to both a BSN and an ADN? Better chances that way. :)
