NURSING 2021 PROGRAM

Hello there! I am currently a freshman TCU transfer student. (transferred after 1st semester). Due to transferring to TCU, I was told that my only option would be to graduate a semester late with the nursing program. I did not like this idea, and wanted to graduate on time if not early! I also do not want to pay for an extra semester's tuition. I am considering applying for the accelerated program to begin Fall 2021. I hear that the accelerated program is quite competitive so I feel this may be a risky choice. TCU only allows to apply for ONE program: so I need to decide whether I should keep it safe and graduate a semester late OR take the risk and apply to accelerated to finish a semester early. I am a TCU student and meet the requirements.. would that give me an advantage? What should I do?
