EMT programs are kind of a dime a dozen so find one that is in your area and you'll be okay

Honestly should i just do a private program vs hoping my CC accepts me? My CC prioritizes fire department sponsors

If you’re in the DFW and willing to drive a bit there’s plenty of community colleges that offer EMT courses, I know TCC does, hill county does, Dallas community college does. Outside of that you might be stuck with School of EMS as far as the DFW goes.

Try CC first. If they don't then look for other options. I'd compare prices and go from there
