I would just turn in my application before the earlier deadline. I also applied to the accelerated nursing program at Marymount, and I already got my application in for 2010! I think maybe if you don't get into the program, they put you on the second round, which can be like they will review your application again if theres room? Like a wait list? I can be wrong.. I'm not positive though.. anyone want to clarify?? :)
