What should I do?

Hi,

I am new here and I just need to vent or I’m going to drive myself crazy about this. I applied to my first nursing program for the Spring semester. I did all my research and knew I would get in but no I received my letter yesterday and I was denied due to lack of completion of a class I did take and pass! 
I understand during this time it’s easy to make errors so I’m not mad just frustrated that this will somehow blow up in my face or it could all work out. I emailed them right away and I got the I am out of the office until Monday email LOL just my luck. 
Has this ever happened to someone before and you got accepted into the program? It’s been such a hard time for my family and this little bit of hope of getting into nursing school is the only thing right now keeping me together.

    I transferred to an ADN program for nursing. I had all the pre-reqs done for a BSN program and then some. This school required that you had an ACT within the past 3 years. My ACT was 4 years old at the time. I went to the school and asked them what I needed to do. I was told that my ACT score was really good and I did not need to retake it. Because that was what I was told - I didn't retake it. I then received a letter saying that I was not admitted due to an older than allowed ACT. I went to the school and told them that I had come to their office and did not retake the ACT because I was told my score was good and that I did not need to. They sent me to the college office to take the other option which was some type of basic literacy test. I passed with 100% and took the results back to them. They looked at my record and told me that I was "over qualified" for their program based on my completed pre-reqs and that they would make an exception to the admission date to let me in for that year, but not to tell anyone that they had allowed this. I understood because that could easily be construed as unfair.  

    Schools make mistakes. Some times in the sending of transcripts, in records, or in advice. All you can do is talk to the staff, be polite and respectful in your conversation, and see what happens.

    OP, What ended up happening? Did they acknowledge their error?
