Applying ED 2?

<p>Bates emailed me and saying we think you should apply Early Decision 2. The email said:“My colleagues and I think you would be a great fit for Bates. Have you considered applying to Bates as an Early Decision Round 2 candidate? Admission through Early Decision Round 2 is a binding commitment to Bates, but it can be a terrific option if Bates is your first-choice college.” What does it mean? Does Bates send it to everyone?</p>

<p>D got something similar today, not an email, but a postcard of sorts.</p>

<p>I’d say yes, they do.</p>
