My only advice is to not limit yourself... By applying to only one program, you limited yourself - and that hasn't worked out all that well. For this upcoming year - investigate private universities, outside your comfort zone, that fit your academic needs. A healthy number is 5 programs...
Do a search for "How to improve my chances" - as there are several excellent threads on the subject.
Good luck to you - and if you ever need any help - utilize this board as a resource... keep us posted on your progress.
