Best way to transfer into nursing at UCLA?

I’m a second year stats major at my community college and I found out pretty recently that I wanted to study nursing. My GPA is pretty high with a good amount of ECs and I’m pretty confident that I can get into UCLA (my dream school) as a stats major, but not for nursing. I have all of my prereqs done for stats (the major I originally planned on studying) but for nursing the only classes I’ll be missing (by the end of spring) are anatomy and physiology. I really do not want to stay at my community college for just one extra year for only 2 classes that I can easily just do over summer. I’m planning on just applying for stats and trying to switch to nursing after I get accepted, but I won’t be able to do that until the end of summer because that’s when I’ll be done with the prereqs needed to change my major. The only problem is that the chances of changing your major for nursing are extremely slim from what I’ve heard and I would be stuck with stats for 2 years which I really do not want. Anyone have any advice?
