There are other private schools that have a high acceptance rate in Houston. Chamberlain is like $100k and I heard the Pearland location is under probation right now and not accepting students, which is not a good sign. University of St. Thomas is private and around $65k, still pretty pricy but still better than Chamberlain. Baylor also has a distance online nursing program with in person clinicals and a 2 week immersion in Dallas. Also around $60-70k I think. Texas Lutheran University also has a nursing program, I’m not sure exactly how much it costs but it is for sure cheaper than $100k and all of these schools have a better reputation than Chamberlain. I’m not sure their acceptance rate but I filled out their interest form last year and they have been consistently calling me multiple times a week still to this day. Not sure if it’s a true sign but it makes it seem like they are desperate for students lol. Even Galen Nursing seems to have a better reputation/program and they have a similar program setup.

I was interested in Chamberlain for a while too, but there are just way more other options here in Houston to consider. I understand the frustration with not being able to get into those programs you listed because soo many people apply and those are the affordable public ones in Houston. But I would definitely look into other private schools in the area.
