UT Nursing Questions

So, I heard the chances of externally transferring to UT nursing are bad. Awful, actually. BUT I still have a couple of questions if anyone would be willing to answer them!
-Does anyone know how the process works?
-Is it true that spots are available only if other nursing kids drop the program?
-Do they even take externals anymore?
I applied with a 3.9 GPA, awesome essays, work as a CNA, two rec letters (one from the Chief Nursing Officer from the hospital I work at)…do I even have a shot?
