UT Austin Acceptance?

I’m currently a junior in high school, and I want to enter a really good nursing program here in Texas. UT Austin is what I’m looking at currently, but I know it’s a very competitive program they have. I’m top 13% as of last year, and my SAT score is 1240, though I’ve been studying and preparing to take it again with, hopefully, a higher score. How likely is it that I would be accepted into UT? What are some other schools with good nursing programs?

Fairly good, I would say about 50/50. There are better nursing programs in Texas. University of Houston, UT Health and Science San Antonio( 2 year program-generals and prerequisites taken at another university) UT-Southwestern (also 2 year program)

With a higher SAT score, your chances will increase. Also look into A&M, UT Arlington, and UT Tyler. Also, if you’re willing to go private, Baylor and Texas Christian are good options.
