I have been to two different colleges and because of my anxiety and depression was forced to leave both. After I moved to a new state, took over a year off, and worked and tried to get myself back together again, I applied to a local college. I was flat out rejected. But I tried to still take some initiative. I called and set up an appointment with admissions to talk about why I wasn't accepted (even though I had a pretty strong idea) and what they could recommend to make me a better candidate in the future. It was actually a pretty helpful meeting, even though I definitely cried many tears over being rejected and how the meeting itself actually went. Very hard things to hear. But for me, they suggested taking classes through the continuing ed program which would allow me to take classes with other students just like I was admitted, but I wouldn't be working for a degree.. yet... When they see that I do have the ability to be a strong student and can get letters of recommendation from professors at their own university, I have a better chance of getting accepted. Then those credits can be transferred in and applied towards my degree. It's no guarantee, and I'll still have to work my butt off, but I can still say I"m attending such and such university, still take pride in my work, and still feel like I'm working towards an end goal. Maybe try meeting with someone from admissions to the school you want to go to and see what they recommend. They might have some very helpful suggestions. Good luck!

Trust me, I know how much it stings right now, but keep trying. It'll all pay off in the long run!
