This year is my third year getting Rejected from drama school.. are there any other good routes to get into the acting industry? ?
I work two jobs and actively take acting classes but I’m finding the rejection especially hard this year because I am almost 20 and feel like I’m dragging behind. I am a good actress and have worked hard to get where I am but am struggling where to go next. I always thought drama school was the only way. Any tips ?

To add to Cogito. Go out and get some life experience. Sometimes that helps - the more experience you have, the more you have to draw on to help with your acting. Did you have someone to look at your audition pieces before auditioning? Maybe 2021 is not the best year to try. In a couple of years, the world will hopefully be back to more normality. For the last year you won't have been able to take part in any staged productions, so when your local amateur/community theatre starts again, get in there and perform. Then try again in another year or so.

If you're in the UK, I'm sorry but without graduating from a top drama school it's incredibly difficult to get an agent and therefore any real auditions.
If it's any consolation, each drama school gets well over 6,000 applicants every single years, competing for only 24 places. That means about 5,976 disappointed aspiring actors at every one of the schools and sadly, thousands of them are also very good, talented, dedicated actors like you.
