Richmond ED2 is due Dec 1? Weird timing

Haha. Ok maybe I should have looked more closely. When you pull up the ED2 page, the first deadline, right at the top, says 12/1 but you guys are right. It’s for consideration for Richmond Scholars. So I wonder if one can send in the app prior to 12/1 as EA and then switch to ED2 after ED1 decisions come in.
