I apologise for not making my question clear,
I will try again!
I understand that the best time to apply is when you have the best application ready (r1 or r2)
The issue here is bit different, Say I am applying to 5 schools in total, and two weeks back I had a plan of applying to 2 schools in R1 and 3 in R2 in order to better organize myself for different aspects of application i.e. interview over phone/alumni, making a balance between essays and so. Hence I started preparing for those two schools for R1. One of these two application is more than 70% complete and I would say that I am pretty much satisfied with that!
Now couple of days back, I got to know that I need to visit US for business sessions. Hence now I am planning to visit all 5 schools; the school for which application is 70% ready offers interview to everyone! and I can only visit schools in November thereby pushing all my applications to round 2, which I fear (not sure though) might spoil my schedule for other applications!
I wanted your opinion on how to resolve the situation here? Shall I ask for an alumni/phone interview and then visit the school OR I take a chance and put all applications for r2?
I hope I made myself bit more clear this time, would appreciate your comments!
Thanks and Regards,
