Sophomore Summer Internships? (2025)

Hi. I'm currently applying to a Bank of America's "Latin America Global Investment Banking Sophomore Summer Analyst Program – 2025", and it says the deadline is September 2nd. However, people here and on reddit are telling me to not bother applying as hirevues and SD's were already sent out. Is this true? If so, why would they leave the deadline as September 2nd? Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!
