The less diverse your profile is the earlier you should apply. This is true for any program.

Aarya20 applying in the late rounds can make things difficult because the school would have already received plenty of applications from folks with similar background as you in R1 and R2. So unless you have certain aspects in your profile that set you apart from the rest, you may not stand a chance applying in the late rounds. Irrespective of whether or not you are a strong applicant, it is a good idea to explain why you applied late because you do not want the school to think that its program was not your 1st choice or you are not genuinely interested. It is completely acceptable to mention legit reasons for late application such as preparing for a competitive GMAT/GRE score, professional engagement such as a new job or personal reasons.

Best wishes

Hi Aarya20,

It is always better to apply in earlier rounds. One cannot quantify the extent to which it makes an impact but if you are someone who belongs to an over-represented pool of applicants, you will have competition from a lot of applicants who apply early. The number of seats for you will come down in subsequent rounds and that will have an impact on the acceptance rate.

Hope this clarifies.

Good luck!

Thank you ExpertsGlobal and MBAGuide for replying, appreciate it! I've been thinking the same, I do have a reason to not apply in early rounds to INSEADs MIM 23 intake, I'm planning to go abroad for study abroad program and that leaves me with R3 and the subsequent rounds. I'll remember to state the reasons for the same.
