Here's the deal: if you have applied to AA programs two years in a row and haven't received an interview, then yes, your intuition is correct -- you don't have what it takes to become an AA.
You insist that you put forth an honest effort to improve your application after you were turned down the first time. You knew where you stood and you knew what you needed to improve. And yet, even though you DID mitigate some of the weaknesses of your application, you STILL didn't receive so much as an interview offer from any school you applied to.
What does that tell you?...
... That you should propagate what has practically become a cyclical routine for you and apply again? And again? And again?
Of course not. You took measures that you thought would improve your application and yet didn't make an inch of progress towards achieving your goal.
Nobody else will be forward with you, so I'll do you that favor: all of the recent events that have occurred plainly indicate that your shortcomings are the kind that can't be improved. They lie within some central aspect of who you are -- an aspect that can't be changed.
What the programs are trying to tell you (albeit with actions rather than words) is that you're simply not the caliber of student that possesses the intellectual capacity to become an AA. It really would help if the schools would accompany those actions with some form of narrative ("We don't want you in our profession and never will" has a nice ring to it), but even people like you should at least possess the modicum of intellect to make that inference.
You're just not cut out for this career. Sorry, but we simply don't want your breed of imbecile tainting our professional group to have the reputation of one huge, incompetent liability.
You sound like you're interested in healthcare; I would suggest that you consider pursuing a career in an allied health profession that isn't associated with a professional constituency of such a high level of intellect.
I would suggest physical therapy, occupational therapy, radiation therapy, and respiratory therapy as potential alternate careers. Actually, "alternate" isn't an entirely appropriate word to use -- because the simple reality is that you won't have any choice BUT to pursue another profession.
If there's one thing for certain, it's that you're not going to be putting anyone to sleep or managing anyone's airway in your lifetime.
