Do I have a shot at Loyola University of Chicago???

Hello! I want to attend Loyola University Chicago to study nursing. I live in the suburbs of Chicago, am about to enter the 11th grade, and my father attended grad school at Loyola. I love the city and my parents want me to stay close to home since I'm an only child. So this seems like a good fit If you know anything about the nursing program, like how tough it is to get into and its reputation, the overall happiness of students, campus life, etc. please share!! Here are my current stats: My cumulative average over the past 2 years is a 98.81% I take all honors classes and APs with the exception of history (cause I hate it lol) I have been volunteering at my local hospital for about 8 months, and plan on doing so until I leave for college. I love it SOOO much!! I plan on getting some form of part time job next summer. I am involved in a few clubs at school, hope to become president of one. No sports I will have plenty of volunteering hours. There is a possibility I will be invited to National Honors Society. Haven't taken the ACT or SAT. PLAN test I got a 22 (LOW for me, trust me, I didn't even read the Science section because I was so careless that day). Was invited to take the PSAT and my overall score was 168. I should keep up the high avg. over the next 2 years due to my undying perfectionism in my studies :)

1. Apply to UIC which is a better medical school and has better premed classes. Also check out University of Chicago, which is an INCREDIBLE school, and you might make it in. Loyola is a decent school with decent programs, but it's not as strong as it used to be.
2. Yes, you have a very good shot. Especially if you keep up with what you're doing. My mom went to Loyola for nursing, and she was very happy with her experience. She now has a great job at a great hospital (Northwestern in Chicago, in fact!). Definitely go for it. :)
