Hi! I know someone who got in as an internal transfer with a 3.2 overall GPA. It is also true that if you apply for Fall you will be accepted for spring due to space since UT admits regular missions for Fall they would need to fill up space for the Spring (so this includes transfers and fall admits who fail a class. UT prioritizes internal transfers and has mentioned that recommendation letters aren't read. They aren't even a part of the internal transfer application. As for acceptance rates, cohorts are usually 80-90 students. For fall 2017 a total of about 60 applicants were admitted. 17-20 (I can't remember) for people who applied for Fall 2017 and 40 for Spring 2018 applicants, all of these applicants were admitted for Spring 2018 regardless. There is a lot of emphasis on the essay! I have read many different and amazing personal essays that sets their tone for why they want to be nurses! Best of luck!
