<p>TAMU doesn’t consider the level of education your school offers compared to other schools, only your class ranking in that school matters. For instance if you’re ranked in the top 10% of an awful school, you have the same chances as someone ranked top 10% of one of the best schools in the nation. Your SAT scores are fine, you’re a Junior so you’ll have time to improve them even more. Nursing isn’t the hardest to get into, you should be fine.</p>
