Does anyone know the approx intakes GSB has for R3?
Really confused whether I should take my chances with R3 or wait till R1 of next year.
Will I be at a disadvantage if I apply next year as a re-applicant?
this is just my opinion, so take from it what you will. I don't know your profile and this is all a black box. personally i'd suggest waiting until round 1 and putting together a really great app. work on your ecs, leadership, gmat, etc and kick butt. just from the logistics standpoint in round 3 you have a very low chance of getting on a WL. in round 1 even if you arent accepted right away, you have a chance of accept or waitlist.
keep in mind that in round 3 youre not only competing against fellow round 3-ers, you're competing against 100+ waitlisted peeps as well.
but if youre desperate to start school this year, give it a shot. nobody really knows except admissions. But personally I think you're putting yourself at a disadvantage by applying round 3 and i'm assuming you already know that since you're asking.
but again, only admissions knows. i could be way off base and you could get in rd 3.
good luck w whatever you choose
