so i wanna take nursing at UT austin, but i heard that its REALLY HARD. so competitive that texas' "automatic admission if you are top 10% of your class" does not apply for it. i also heard that the cutoff point last year for automatic admission was top 3.2%. i am in like the top 2.99% of my class but im afraid they might lower the cutoff point this year. can anybody who knows someone in the UT austin school of nursing get me confirmation on past or current cutoff points for class rankings?

and this is only for PRE nursing
the university's website tells me that only around 70 people get accepted into the upper level nursing classes (junior and senior year)

Lolllllls.

No, srsly...good luck man. IDK what else you are lookin' for here though.

i find it weird that its easier to become a doctor than a nurse in a public university

i went to a debate tournament there.

there is a whole section of UT that is completely drugged out and has a bunch of homeless people there. a group lives behind the church also

idk if you really want to go there, but good luck.
& they wont lower the rate, trust me, that would mean barely any students get in

UT austin has a HUGE campus, i probably wont even pass by that section.
and theyll lower the rate if more people with higher ranks apply.

I can't really recall...but don't they waive your class ranking if your ACT score is 26 or higher? May have changed, iunno.

they dont look at ACT/SAT scores until 75% of the class has been filled by those who got automatically accepted

I'm pretty sure the top ten percent will get you admission to the university itself, but not necessarily into the nursing program. You may be able to apply for that program each semester, but I am unsure.

yeah they told us that. ill get in cuz my minor is pre-pharmacy which still goes by the top 10% thing, but then even if i do get in, idk what the chances of me getting into the nursing program are.

If you really want to pursue nursing, you could go to a different school for it. I'm not sure exactly if the 10% deal would work for say, UTHSC or UTSWMC. I dunno what kind of programs/standards those have, just throwing out some medical-type schools.

But don't forget about the possibility of changing your mind.
