Economics Bachelor interested in Software Development Master's degree

I am a 23 year old guy from Europe and I finished my Bachelor's degree (3 years) in Economics, specializing in IT Management, in Croatia.Due to many stupid reasons, in which I won't get into now to keep this post as short as possible, I enrolled at this university knowing I wouldn't like what I will be studying. This is exactly what happened and from the very beginning of my education I realized what I actually want to study and spend my life doing. I wanted to study computer science as I realized this is something that always interested me. Soon enough, I started learning programming extensively on my own.

After a while, I was working on various projects, starting with web development and progressing to software development. I was/am extremely passionate and continued learning both CS theory and utilizing my knowledge in practice while completing my Econ degree.

​

Since I finished my Bachelor degree in September last year, I decided to apply for a Master's degree at one of the universities in Europe.I prepared for the entire year, got all my papers ready, carefully wrote a motivational letter in a duration of 4 months, passed my English proficiency exam and found a great job as a software developer in my country (I'm still working there) to increase the chances of being accepted and to gather as much knowledge as possible.

As of this moment, I have been rejected by five universities out of the five I have applied for.I understand that the programmes these universities are offering are very popular and sought after, but I truly believed I would have some chance of getting admitted to at least one of them.When I got rejected this morning for the fifth time by the university I was most looking forward to, I couldn't describe how disappointed I was.

​

I made a big mistake enrolling at a university I had no interest in, but I finally feel like I have found my passion and now it's going to slip away.

I plan to send more applications since it is still early for the Winter intake (classes start in September/August), but I have no idea where to apply anymore. Are there any Software Development Master degrees that are a bit more flexible when it comes to admission requirements? I stand no chance getting admitted with an Economics Bachelor when most of the applicants have CS and IT Bachelor degrees.

If you have any advice on what to do, suggestions on what universities I could try applying for or any tips in general, I would greatly appreciate it.I apologize for the wall of text and incoherent sentences, I'm writing this in a hurry and am still a bit overwhelmed.

​

Any advice would be great,

Thanks!
