Hi all! I know this is a bit early, considering the application doesn't even go live until August 1, but UT is my number one school for Nursing. I just graduated from UGA with a BS in Psychology, and have around a 3.5 GPA. I have yet to take the GRE. I also am going to get a CNA certification and work for a year (hopefully in MedSurg) as well as shadow a family friend who is a Pediatric nurse. Many years before us have started a thread so I figured it would be a good idea to start one! I would really like to go into their Nurse Practitioner program, but as of right now there are some changes going on that said would be solidified in the fall.
Any feedback would be wonderful! As well as personal experience and what not!
Hi Hashi. When I originally called and asked this past summer, they told me that 10 out of 21 applicants were admitted for the psych NP track (for RNs). You can also see a breakdown on their website for the nursing master's program - search UT Austin GPA/GRE by major in Google and click on the PDF document, then scroll down to nursing.

hakhama,
Do you know what the competition is like on the traditional psych NP track? If this alternate entry doesn't work out for me I may do my ADN then apply to the MSN program. I was competitive for the psych NP AE-MSN, just wondering what the competition on the traditional MSN side would be.
Thanks!
