not quite there

Hello!

I'm sorry if there's any confusion but I'm actually still a senior in high school. I'm really interested in this nursing major and I really want to become a neonatal nurse practitioner but I guess that's still a while for me! Anyhow I'm not sure how tough this whole thing is. I'm sure I want to stay in Texas for school, and I've always wanted to go to UT Austin for nursing but seeing that I'm not in the top ten percent (we have over 1300 kids in our senior class) I was thinking about Texas Woman's University or UT Arlington?

I really don't know what my chances are to getting into a pre-nursing school. I've taken AP Biology (not sure if that helps?) and am currently taking AP Chemistry, my SAT score wasn't all that hot, and I've never volunteered or taken anything related to nursing.

I've looked around on these forums and it seems like getting into the actual nursing program is pretty tough. But if any of you guys could tell me about other nursing schools in Texas or other information in general I'd really appreciate it, Thanks! (:
